Jour 377: "Finding Story Ideas in the Records that Matter" article response

I found this article extremely helpful as a journalist and as a young woman. My favorite part was the background information you can find on people (example: a potential date) and if that person is bankrupt, married, divorced etc. I also liked that records are available on my doctors, dentists, hairdressers etc and if they are in good standing. I like how the article made aware that the use of records & video surveillance is helpful to journalists and it can also be marketable. The most helpful advice was..."As you learn what documents can make your life better, you will bolster your reporting skills because you'll feel motivated and become more adept at searching and finding records. Also, you'll be able to pass along your knowledge to readers, friends, and relatives, who will be amazed and grateful."
