Stealing Life

In this article, Margaret Talbot talked about David Simon and his work in television series "The Wire."

“It was like a frat house the other day, with all your newspaper pals around here,” Johnson told Simon. “What, you think somebody in Iowa’s gonna be watching and go, ‘Look, honey, it’s Bill Zorzi!’?” Warming to his riff, he added, “You ever try playing off these people who’ve never acted before? Somebody yells ‘Action,’ and they stand here like this”—he made a blank fish face."

What we all need to learn about is how the journalistic technigues in writing will be able to use in other forms of writing. How everyone reports their stories has to do with there mindsets and personal beliefs.
