Jeff City Capital

After touring the capital building with Phil Brooks, It made me even all the more eager to take the LSAT and apply to law schools.  I love national news and politics so being at the capital was a load of inspiration.  I became very interested in the Lawyer magazine that is near the AP office at the capital.  I think it would be interesting to look into what kind of journalism that magazine puts out.  --- Not to mention, the tour may have been such positive encouragement for my future because it was with Phil Brooks, a journalist but also a fun tour guide.  

Gay Marriage

Gay marriage was just OKed in Maine.  This seems to be an increasing trend.  Is the media playing a role in our changing culture? I must bring up Miss California and the Perez Hilton scandal that bought up much air time last month.  The press really played into that since it is such a controversial topic. The media plays a huge role in influencing the public and when I saw that the governor of Maine just signed the bill legalizing gay marriage I had to question if the media is behind this modernizing change in American culture.
