Government Town #6: Civic Engagement
Did you know that if you don’t finish something on Thursday night until 2:52AM, as long as you don’t go to sleep, it’s still Thursday and you’re not late at all? It’s a true fact, look it up!
Anyway. This is an extremely common phenomenon in journalism school–go to an event, see all the guests, realize that almost all of the “guests” are actually j-schoolers there to report on it. Watch them awkwardly try to decide whether or not they can get away with interviewing each other about the event. Laugh and laugh and laugh, and then remember that, oh crap, you’re supposed to be reporting on the event too.
