Project Selection-Magazine

Print journalism is an interesting aspect of informing the media which fascinates myself. As seen in the movie, All the President's Men , the journalists Bernstein and Woodward were given the story of exposing Richard Nixon and the men involved in the Watergate scandal.  The journalists in the movie showed that print media is the watchdog for the public eye.  Exposing foul movements of the government interests me because it is all done through writing in the form of print journalism.  I could choose the magazine project because I love writing and interviewing to find the real truth for the public.  However, it would be extremely hard to expose the truth in Sarasota where there is nothing to expose about the local government and I have no connections.  Although, not all forms of print media are about exposing government there are a multitude of other topic areas to choose from for the magazine option.  These different topic areas would still pose an issue to where I would interview people for my magazine. Therefore, the magazine option from prior knowledge of print media and my own skills possesses opportunity for my project as well as dead ends.
