"Morning Glory" Might Really Brighten Up Your Day.

With a very catchy soundtrack and characters that will keep you on your toes with entertainment, "Morning Glory" is a great take on media journalism.

The show will capture your attention from the first moment you meet the main character Becky, played by Rachel McAdams. A plucky young deteremened woman who is set on being a broadcasting editor. Her character depicts many of the realities that might be involved in such a job. Having no husband, kids, or a boyfriend, her job is literally her world.

 Curious If you should go see morning glory?

The show does kind of give a misconception that news media is boring. By having the television morning show that Becky is trying to keep from going under characterizes news media, specifically daily morning shows, as being a more suburban house wife show that many might consider boring.

Despite this the movie does bring up a good contrast between "News" and ""Media". Being that the argument for part of the movie depicts Mike, Harrison Ford, as a grumpy old news journalist who now feels that his new role in media journalism is beneath him.

The movie follows the journey of both Beth and Mike and her pursuit of proving to him that journalism media is still news worth reporting.

It may not change your entire perspective on journalism or news media. But it might very well give you a higher respect for those who are in the media business and strive to make it better.

READ IT: "The Corpse Had a Familiar Face" by Edna Buchanan

It might be the personal way that Buchanan talks to the reader or it might be the indepth details that she gives to her stories. Either way, Enda Buchanan's book The Corpse Had A Familiar Face is practically impossible to put down.

It may sound like just another book about Crime in Miami but the way Buchanan covers the journalism seen in the Miami of her time makes the reader think about a little bit more than just crime.

Being a Journalist is harder than it seems. At least it was for Buchanan. In her book she covers how she was constantly at different crime sceens that might not have considered appropriate for a woman reporter at that time to have been attending. Or how she constantly was chasing after one story or another.

"I often joke that my job keeps me single and celebate" She states in one chapter. It's a hard job that you have to have the right passion for.

Buchanana's book also encourages the reader to never give up. She describes how she has always been very persistant. Whether it was trying to get the reporting job she wanted or if it was to help solve a missing person's report she was always on the look out.

"I fee haunted by the restless souls of those whose killers walk free" she states at the beginning of the book.

Not all good guys are good and not all bad guys are bad. Cops can be charged with rape and murder just like any other guy. A man running from the law might also be a loveing father and husband. It is these different perspectives that give Buchanan's writing a fresh outlook on things.
