The aspect of print journalism that interest me is taking notes and researching. Journalists have to do a lot to get information. Going to different people and places to get information interests me because I can learn about both sides of a story. In “The Newsroom”, Will McAvoy and his team try to make the news credible again. They do this by going to multiple sources for information and giving both sides of an argument. Journalists must be careful with their choice of words, making sure their facts are correct, and making sure everything is on the record. Because I am good at communicating with people, I will be able to get information easily. However, I am not very outgoing. It will be hard for me to go up to people and talk to them.

The "good guys" are represented by Francheska and Isabella, who are the detectives trying to bring justice to the mob, specifically Leonardo, and bring back their friend Samantha. The film portrays th...

Casting

Leonardo - The Mobster - Jacob: We chose me to be Leonardo because typically, Italian mobsters are male. Also, my black hair and necklace fit the typical mobster look. Leonardo is a very secretive, cunning, and smart man. Isabella - Stupid Detective - Nicole: We chose Nicole to be Isabella because Nicole is very smart, but can be clueless sometimes.  Isabella is also a smart detective, but is clueless to her surroundings. Her stupidity adds a comedy aspect to the film. Francesca - Smart Detective - Grace: We chose Grace to be Francesca because Grace is always making fun of Nicole for her clueless personality. We thought there two combating personalities would add comedy and make the audience laugh. Samantha - Girl who is kidnapped - Emily: While Emily isn't in our group, she is friends with all of us. She also lives near Grace, so she was a perfect extra. Samantha is an athletic girl who finds herself in bad situations often.
