Write a 400-to 700-word e-mail to your friend in which you detail the challenges you faced regarding the following:
· Your responsibility as a journalist to provide fair, honest, and balanced coverage.
· How you struggled with whether your story was socially responsible.
· Assess the credibility of the political Internet sites you visited for your research (consider Drudge Report, Daily Kos, Politico, Colbert Nation, the Hill, etc.). YOU MUST REFERENCE THREE OF THESE WITH SPECIFICS!
