9 Principles and 7 Yardsticks

This was probably one of our most important lessons in my opinion so far. Because I learned about the 9 principles and 7 yardsticks, I now notice what is good journalism and what is not. When watching the news I am able to tell what they are doing right and I can pick out the stories that are irrelevant. This is very important and I love being able to critique journalism.
