Friday Journal
This week at school we learn a numerous amount of things ranging from the deep thought consincestency of biology and the algebraic challenges of math but this week what stood out for me was Journalism. We learned about the life of William Randolph Hearst and Orson Welles. William Randolph Hearst was a stuck up rich guy who is one of the founding fathers of journalism, he was one of the most successful people in the world with his famous newspaper the "New York Journal," he had a few wives and was a very mean and selfish person. Orson Welles was a child prodigy who grew up to create one of the most famous pictures in the world..."Citizen Kane." Citizen Kane was about the life of William Randolph Hearst it showed his ignorance his greed and his brilliant work ethics. Despite the success of Citizen Kane, Orson Welles career ended shortly after the success of Kane due to the Hearst's hatred and rumours toward Welles. However Hearst and Welles contribution to the news and the movie industry is incredible and will forever be remembered.

When I was in college (undergrad), I majored in journalism. I must've watched Citizen Kane about 500 million times. Great post!
