New York Times
It's tough to pin down an average, since a lot depends on experience and position. If you go by the April 2007 numbers put out by the Newspaper Guild, an New York Times reporter with 2 years' experience makes a minimum of $87,000 a year. The October '06 numbers put a starting New York Times reporter at about $83,000 a year, minimum.

Friday's Class 8-19-11
In class, we read the story " And of Clay Are We Created, by Isabel Allende. It was an emotional story, about a news reporter accompanying a victim of an avalanche during her final moments. One thing i noticed about the story was that there were important quotations in the center of each page, and behind the words, were flowers that represented the girl's name. (Azucena translates to "Lily")
And of Clay..
On Friday we read the rest of the story "Of clay we are made". I found to be a very inspirational story, while we were reading it I thought the theme would be "treat the others how you would like to be treated". I think it is that because if I was in Azucena's play I would want someone like Rolf to be with me all the way through.

And of Clay Are We Created
This story shows a lot about the character, Rolf Carle. He is just an average reporter. Or some might say. After reading the story, I see Rolf to be a caring, loving man that would put himself aside to help another. For example, Rolf stays days with the trapped young lady, Azucena. He tells her that everything will be fine and that they will try their best to get her out of the mud she was caught in after a massive tragedy. While trapped in mud, many reporters come by to do their job. Take pictures, and ask questions. Rolf is the only one that actually wanted to help but sadly, could not do so. Azucena let herself sink into the mud and die.In conclusion, we see Rolf as a great person that puts others before himself.

Of clay we are made
On Friday we finish the rest of that story "Of clay we are made". And it was a story i didn't expect. it was kind of emotional, but i liked it, it kept my interest! But i like the fact we were analyzing it, about what the author was doing and what was going on. Then i was able to understand a little better what was talking about! I think we should do that more often. (:
Of clay we are made..
On friday, we read the rest of the story called Of Clay we are Made. I thought it was very sad and emotional when the girl died. Its also sad that Rolf was completely lost after that.

8-18/19-11
In class we read & paraphrased a text. From my point of view, the paraphrasing helped because it helped me understand what was happening in the text because the story was so long, but yet interesting.

I really enjoyed class today. I thought that the story today was really good. It was a little long but I still found it very interesting. What I really liked about the story was that it was depressing which made it even more interesting to read and gave the story complexion. Overall I thought the story was great.
