My Two Anchor Segments

In addition to my first News Package, I did two anchor scripts, one entertainment and one news.

They were really fun to do and definitely made me love my major even more :)

Anchor Segment 1

Hope y'all enjoy those ones too! :)

My First News Package

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted something on my blog. But here is the first news package I did for my class.

It's about a local Fort Worth swim team and how they are getting ready for sectionals (the fastest meet in the state of Texas).

Just follow the link at the bottom:

Pearl Harbor Remembered at 70th Anniversary

Today, December 7, 2011, we remember the bombings that happened at Pearl Harbor 70 years ago today. About 120 survivors observed a moment of silence to remember the thousands who lost their lives from the Japanese attack.

Altogether, 3,000 people attended the event and President Barack Obama hailed Wednesday as "National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day." 

"Their tenacity helped define the Greatest Generation and their valor fortified all who served during World War II. As a nation we look to December 7, 1941, to draw strength from the example set by these patriots and to honor all who have sacrificed for our freedoms, " he said.

The U.S. lost 12 vessels on December 7, 1941, but the Arizona and the Utah are the only ones still sitting in the harbor. They will always show and signify the valor and strength the Americans had on that awful day that occurred 70 years ago.

UK Shuts Down Iranian Embassy

After Iranian protesters attacked the British Embassy building in Tehran, Iran, Britain pulled out its officials from the capital of Iran and closed down the Iranian Embassy in London.

The hours long assault was reminiscent of the 1979 seizing of the U.S. American Embassy.

On Sunday, Iran's parliament approved a bill to downgrade relations with Britain.

With Iran's nuclear program underway, relations with Iran and most countries has become even more difficult.

Because of the latest attack on the British Embassy in the Iranian capital, a Norwegian government official decided to close its embassy in Tehran due to security concerns.

Hopefully relations with Iran will improve.

Occupy Sadler

On Tuesday, November 15, Texas Christian University emailed it's students informing them of the planned 6.5% tuition increase, sparking rage across campus. All over Twitter and Facebook, students were posting statuses and tweets stating how they cannot afford TCU already, and with the tuition increase, may cause them to have to leave TCU next school year.

With that, many students got together and planned through these social networking sites, to protest the tuition increase in front of Sadler, calling it "Occupy Sadler".

With the tuition increase here at TCU, only financial aid increases along with it at 6.5%. One of the biggest concerns though is that scholarships do not increase either, meaning students with scholarships will end up paying more.

Affording TCU is difficult, but hopefully the point of the students will come across at the protest at Sadler on Thursday, November 17.

Kim Kardashian Files for Divorce from Husband Kris Humphries

After just 72 days of marriage, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband Kris Humphries on Halloween morning, October 31, 2011.

The reality-TV star stated in her released statement that, "After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage," she said. "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish eachother the best."

What makes this divorce more interesting is that Humphries was taken by surprise by the divorce. On Monday afternoon, he put out a statement through his representative saying, "I love my wife and am devestated to learn she filed for divorce."

"I am committed to this marriage and everything this covenent represents," he said. "I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it work."

I actually don't know whether to be surprised by this or if this was totally obvious, judging from their wedding special on E!. It looked like the couple loved eachother, but Kardashian was taking control over everything about Humphries, including where his dogs sleep, to what he wears at the wedding.

Are you surprised by the Kardashian-Humphries split?

Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries Marriage Woes

Newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries seem to have already hit a rocky path in their only two month marriage. To be honest, I feel like this is no surprise. After watching Kim and Kris' Wedding Special on E!, I don't know how Kris Humphries can put up with the Kardashians and how controlling their women are.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Kardashians and everything about them, especially how close-knit their family is, but Kim was a bridezilla and so was momager (mom & manager) Kris Jenner. They controlled every aspect of the wedding and didn't really clue in Humphries (the groom) on what was happening with the wedding arrangements. It only makes sense how these two have hit a rough patch in their marriage already.

Since their marriage two months ago, Kim and Kris haven't had much alone time or a honeymoon phase. They basically packed their stuff up after the wedding and flew to New York to film Kim and Kourtney Kardashian's "Kourtney and Kim Take New York", one of their many shows on the E!.

Hopefully this marriage works out, I love Kim Kardashian and how hard she has worked to keep up her business and her closeness with her family. Hopefully this rocky patch will mend itself and the two will work things out.
