Reasons for Chosing Chapter 1

     To be honest, I take a lot of intrest to history and a lot of interest to journalism. So put the two and two together, and you have a very interested Journalism & Democracy student. I am a media, history, and journalism buff and this chapter portrays all of the above. "Sowing the Seeds of Revolution" shows us the faces behind all of those who played a vital role in changing our history and our history of journalism. I like to learn about what people have done, but I really like learning about who that person is and what goes on inside their heads. Everything was so entirely different back then. From writing, to ways of thinking, and government...you never would have thought people from such early days could do things people couldn't have thought of today! Even the writing changed drastically. It started as writing being illegal in some cases, to little magazines and essays making their way around the country, to top-selling newspapers that inform the public of everything single thing they need to know about anything single thing they choose.
