Quotes
If there's anything that's important to a reporter, it is integrity. It is credibility.
Mike Wallace
I am grateful that as a reporter and as an anchor, people have allowed me to share their stories.
Tamron Hall
Kids are always asked, What are you going to be when you grow up? I needed an answer. So instead of saying, a fireman, or a policeman, I said, a reporter.
Charles Kuralt
Lowell Thomas was the prototype for those who came after him, a cause rather than a consequence of a new form of journalism.

Lowell Thomas
The town of Victor, Colorado, in the Cripple Creek Mining District, claims Lowell Jackson Thomas, April 6,1892– August 29,1981, as its favorite son. Thomas distinguished himself as a reporter, newscaster, war correspondent, lecturer, filmmaker, author, explorer, producer and media entrepreneur.
He is mentioned in Mabel Barbee Lee's book, Cripple Creek Days, where as a teacher she noticed a tall, slim, dark haired boy who challenged her knowledge of history. He was quiet, well mannered, with serious eyes that seemed to see through her thin pretensions. Before long she was cramming her head with history fortifying herself against his unexpected questions.
One of Thomas' achievements for which he is best known was that of Lawrence of Arabia. He spent several weeks in the desert with T.E. Lawrence to capture material for the book. He also was the host of the first televised political convention in 1940, for the Republicans in Philadelphia. Lowell Thomas was a supporter of cinerama movie making. He published more than 50 books. President Gerald Ford in 1976 awarded Thomas the Presidential Medal of Freedom
Lowell Thomas' famous sign off was "So long until tomorrow,"

Students Choosing Schools
Students are allowed to choose schools in their district, that put emphasis on particular fields and areas of education in which the students are interested: for example, mathematics, music, mechanical arts.
It is now common for coaches to recruit junior high students with exceptional athletic ability to attend the coach's high school. That encourages all the best athletes to attend one school and build an all-star super team that "normal" schools cannot compete with. Private schools in particular offer free tuition to some athletes. This encourages the idea that athletic ability is more important and academics with be taken care of.
This concept becomes more entrenched in high school students being recruited by colleges. Or even for professionals who play out their contract and become free agents to play for a team that has a chance to win the championship.
If a student chooses a school for academic reasons outside of the schools that the student would normally go to according to where the student lives, in order to go to a school that emphases a particular field...GREAT. But they should not be allowed to participate in interscholastic athletics for one year. Our suggestion to keep competition more even and give students academic freedom.
'How young should recruitment start and reading, writing, and 'rithmetic go to second place.
