Today this guy comes in and he wanted to talk to myself or the other tech Amanda. He said he wanted to do an interview with one of us for the paper. Me I was iffy and said Amanda could do it and she said sure. But she ended up having to leave because her mom was having problems with her chemo drugs. I told her to go, not to worry I'd finish her computers she was working on and do the interview. The interview as for "so many minutes with such and such" Where they interview someone local...an elder, a business owner, someone from around town to share experience they have. I was pretty leery of doing it because the guy doing the interview has a tendency to twist things so they sound bad. So I'll have to buy a paper and see what he made me sound like.

That sounds like a very interesting experience my friend and I can understand your hesitation in wanting to do the interview because I do not know why by journalists like twisting stories around and making good people look bad,I hope that he did not twist your words,and I agree you should definitely buy a paper and make sure he did not make you sound bad.

I don't understand it either. My sister worked as a journalist for a year for the same paper and she got so mad at the owners because all they wanted to print was negative stories and she wanted to write good stories.

I'd have had a hard time keeping my mouth shut after i quit if i had been her. But she wanted a good reference which they gave her so..i guess it worked out for her.

That's pretty cool. Do you know when the interview will be published? I think I'm going to start interviewing people for articles in Associated Content. I need to make a list of things people might be interested in hearing about.
