In ye olden days, AP or UPI newswire teletypes would spit out a constant stream of paper in newsrooms. Editors or reporters would have to periodically use rulers to tear apart the continuous spool of paper into individual stories. These stories would be sorted into baskets or hooks on the wall. This was called "stripping the wire". In the same way, this blog will attempt to sort through relevant content on the internet to identify and "strip out" items of interest for my students.

Thats sad.
It seems like being a journalist can be a difficult job at times. I feel sorry for their families.
It's sad when you go to work and don't come back home. Being a journalists should not be a dangerous job, it's not like being a police officer or firefighter. I feel sorry for the many family members that have to deal with losing a loved one because of ignorance killing the journalists.
