After watching both the 60 minutes and Chevron's version of the same event I was torn on who to really trust. Although the 60 minutes version upheld the "Murrow Standard" a little better than the other, it was hard to deny the facts that Chevron presented.
I felt as though the Chevron presentation was trying to point the blame other places than themselves, and were more biased toward maintaining a good reputation for the company. Even though 60 minutes was doing a similar thing by trying to support the victims of the contamination, I felt as though they did a better job at showing both sides of the story by allowing people from Chevron to do a lot of the talking. However, I can understand why Chevron would want to cover its mistakes even though it is morally wrong.
Although both 60 minutes was doing a better job at being unbiased and following the "Murrow Standard" I think both were biased in their own way.

first day of class
Today is the first day of Journalism 305. It's early, but seems to be beneficial to my career choice, public relations.
