All the President's Men

    From the movie, All the President's Men, I learned many rules that you are supposed to follow to be a good journalist. The biggest of these rules, in my opinion, is to always write the truth. Other rules include things like always present yourself as a journalist- or you won't be able to use the story-, always have your notebook with your twenty-four seven, and always state your facts- don't go off on assumptions. Other things I learned from the move is to always be always be polite, be trustworthy, and be dedicated- follow your story until the end and don't give up.
    The movie has changed my idea of journalism and journalists. I see now how dedicated they are to their jobs, their stories, how many rules they have to follow, and how much hard work they put into their job. I also see how important this job can be. They just don't write news and gossips. With just a couple of words they can change the world, just like Carl and Bob changed the U.S. Journalism is dangerous and in the wrong hands can be disastrous but at the same time they are doing us a great service by informing everyone of things that affect us and can change our future. They inform us at the risk of themselves when they don't have to and I think that makes journalism that much more important.
