What should you - a journalist – do
when you want to interview the mother of a teenage murderer for an in-depth
report of a crime story? This would make a fascinating report; however, it
could also hurt the mother who has been suffering the pains of her son’s crime.
Working as a TV reporter for seven years, I always faced such questions whenever
I made investigative reports.

On Tuesday this week, Republicans
in the US Senate blocked President Obama’s jobs bill despite
his campaigning efforts across the country. According to the BBC, Democrats
said that Republicans are more interested in defeating Obama than helping the country
recover from its deepest recession since the 1930s.

An organised anarchy
![]() |
Occupy Wall Street is still going strong after 25 days - CNN |
It is very interesting to watch footage of the recent ‘Occupy Wall Street’
movement on CNN website. I have rarely witnessed such peacefulness in a
leaderless movement.
It is now probably time for us to
see a model of ‘anarchy’.

Agitprop 2.0
A message
from Anonymous
Now the Arab Spring protests, sweeping through Africa
and the Middle East this year, have inspired the US. As CNN reports,
it is the 3rd week of the Wall Street protest expressing people’s
anger with the U.S. economy and corporate greed; and the movement has gained momentum
nationwide through online social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook.
