Hi all,
Tomorrow I'll be speaking about journalism and writing profiles. If you have a moment, here are some famous and/or recent profiles that might be useful for tomorrow's exercises. Feel free to look over, skim, or read in their entirety. We'll discuss them briefly tomorrow as introductions to a couple exercises. By coincidence, many have to do with sport.
New journalism
Hunter S. Thompson's "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" (this particular article has the essay itself and some contextual info too)
