One of the hardest parts for me was writing. Being a international student, writing script in different language is hard and it makes harder if there is deadline for it. Fast editing phase and nice shooting style including the sequence is also important.

To be a Multitasks Journalists
Privacy v. Media’s Right
Privacy v. Media’s Right
I had to moved to different housing two weeks ago. My room was just so mess because of all the boxes and load of baggage. I could not find my phone for three hours and I felt like I miss something really important. I went just crazy. Even thought, I didn’t use my phone when I found it, I felt much better to just have it next to me.
The most important thing the Internet does is reaching. Internet connects people together. Internet allows people to communicate with each other over vast distances, and across all kinds of boundaries that formerly made communication difficult or impossible.
U-Nee came to the public's attention under the name "Lee Hye-ryeon" with her 1996 debut in the KBS TV drama "Grown-ups Just Don't Understand." She appeared in the movie "Seventeen" in 1998, then in the TV dramas "Theme Game" and "Tears of the Dragon." Her debut album "Go" was released in 2003 and she gained even greater popularity with the 2005 release of her second album "Call Call Call." Her sexy dance moves and revealing fashions made her a favorite of teenagers across Asia.
According to her family, she suffered from depression from all the anti’s she’s had on line. And even now, those same stupid Anti’s are – as of this moment- typing how happy she dies and are sending hateful messages to her poor grief stricken grandmother and mother. Police Office says that they found her diary under her bed, which says how her anti’s make her crazy and make her self the worst person in the world. She also wrote more than 30 times that she would want to commit suicide because of Anti’s.
One of South Korea’s most popular actresses was also found dead in an apparent suicide after suffering from harassment by online rumors about her allegedly irregular financial dealing, police said.
After Choi and U-Nee suffer from several South Korea Entertainments came to TV and ask media not to across the private line. While one Media corporation, SBS, said they will keep that line, many other broadcasting corporation said no because of the public interests.

Never lie and Invent Details
Never lie and Invent Details
The reason millions of healthy – minded Koreans either quit eating beef or eat only organic and natural beef is not because they don’t want to consume beef from North America bovine but rather because of ‘PD Notepad’s over exaggeration reporting’.
PD (Producer) Notepad has built a strong reputation over the years with groundbreaking reports that have sent ripples across the world, such as the scientist Hwang Wook Suk’s stem cell reports and president Lee Myung-bak’s election. PD Notepad aired a wrong report on mad cow disease. The Seoul District Court ruled that the report by MBC, one of the country's three major broadcasters, on the danger of mad cow disease was partially wrong and exaggerated the threat.

With summer on the horizon, many people will be heading to the tanning salons in search of a healthy bronze glow. I also would like to go tanning in the summer to have golden skin. One day I visited the tanning salon after my class as usual and there was a small argument at the tanning store. A customer was complaining to the worker that she burned herself because the worker set the time wrong. She said she wanted to tan for 10 minutes but the worker set the time for 20 minutes. The customer was red as a ripe tomato.
She claimed that she felt hot in tanning bed but she just decided to wait 10 minutes but she had tanned for 20 minutes. The worker claimed that this was her fault because they always advertise for the customer to stop the tanning bed button when they feel too hot.
Getting sources and gathering information about the indoor tanning bed was fun for me. Since I'm an indoor tanning bed lover, I learned so much too. But one of the most important things I learned was no pain and no gain. Yes… there will be plenty of times people will say ‘no’ to the interview, especially if the topic might damage their business or themselves. I, as a journalist, need to prepare for those moments. And I also need to pay attention to details and what people say. The tanning idea was from my tanning store that I go to everyday, so pay attention to your surroundings.

Save Money on Air Conditioning costs
With summer just around the corner, temperatures will be in the triple digits and it will be a priority to stay cool. According to statistics from Brown University , your A/C usage can be as much as 50%-70% of your total energy bill. It also says A/C systems are one of the biggest energy guzzlers in a home.
So I called several electronic stores to get permission to visit their store and get some video of A/C and maybe CCC, if I am lucky enough. While I made contact with several stores, I realized two of the electronic stores were shut down because of the wrinkled economy while three used electronic stores were still open. I thought that could be good story idea for my next news package. Maybe people use less money on electronic but spend more money on used good. On top of that, two used clothes stores were still open in Columbia last months.
I got permission from Best Buy and Sears. I also called several Wal-mart in Columbia but somehow it was very hard to get permission from the Wal-mart. If journalist or reporter wants to use the Wal-mart for their TV or even Radio, they need to tell a Wal-mart executive director for permission at least two weeks in advance. I learned something about Wal-mart’s media rule but I thought it was very unconvincing for us as journalists because normally, we have to finished the news package at the same day we got the story.
