Instead, you are to go to the Performing Arts Center at 3 p.m. to watch the documentary "The Paper" and to listen and participate in a question and answer with filmmaker Aaron Matthews.
If you cannot make the showing at 3 p.m. you should go to the Performing Arts Center at 4:15, the normal time for class, to hear the Q&A. You may then watch the documentary by taking it out on a three-hour reserve from the Library. The film is stored under Thomas Bass's Narrative Writing Journalism class.
Your assignment, due by class the following Wednesday, March 2, is a two-page news story. That is 500 words minimum. You may choose to cover the airing of the movie and the talk session after as a news event in itself, or you can compare the movie events with the running of the ASP here at UAlbany, or you could track down one of the characters in the documentary and talk to them now. All ideas and uses of imagination are welcome. Bottom line: I want a two-page story from you by March 2. (You should post to your blogs, please.)
You should be understanding by now that going into events you must cover cold is difficult, uncomfortable and generally results in a poor job. So, get ready for this movie and discussion with some research. Here is a good starting point: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/paper
