Research Paper on:
Embedded Reporting, is CNN Coverage Good for Families?

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
magazine does for fun. It recognizes the absurd, preposterous, and outrageous events and activities that have been undertaken by various individuals in Georgia (2000). One item noted  in the year 2000 was the outrageous stunts Peter Arnett pulled as a war correspondent with CNN during 1998; it was reported that the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter claimed he  was not to blame, and insisted that he had nothing to do with the report (2000).
