three little pigs video

1.  The story of The Three Little Pigs was covered through the internet, newspaper, and TV.
2. It has the same concept, but through the media if was taken as a serious issue people were concerned about and protested and tweeted over.
3. They didn't really interview anyone, they filmed the police speaking about it and the rioters and what they had to say about the case.
4.  They covered the opposite opinion of the three little pigs being guilty and the debate over whether they're guilty or not.
5. They didn't cover what exactly happened as in why they murdered the wolf and the story behind it.
6. The Guardian did not express their opinion but covered the opinions of others.
7. Yes we can cover events and show different sides of a story and how people feel about a certain topic.
8. You can make it a reality by covering it, what really happened, and showing different sides of the story from others but not your opinion because you're the journalist documenting it.

ideas for next year

1. making polls and surveys would be interesting and pull more people to read the paper since they know they'd be in the paper and so would their opinions
2. definitely need to dig deeper with people we interview, start conversations with them and ask them more personal questions and ask till you get those good answers that have a lot of meaning in them
