15, 16, 17

Chapter 15. I believe this is one of my least favorite chapters. I am not a fan of business, nor would I ever be good at reporting and keeping on track of a company's progress reports, money, etc. But for some this is actually interesting because they might find something going on that is interesting with the company before anyone else, which could be a very big break for a story.
Chapter 16 The sports stories. I love sports, but reporting it could get very boring. I mean for people whose lives are entirely for reporting sports, then it seems like a great catch. But for someone who is not into the stats, the players, etc. it seems like it could be very very boring. I mean don't get me wrong, attention to detail is key. But it seems the hardest thing about sports reporting would be that the writers have to keep the readers on the edge of their seats.
Chapter 17 seemed a little off topic to me. I mean I know that I need to think like a reporter, but I thought that it was already said in all the other chapters. You must adapt to your surroundings and pay attention to every little detail. One false slip up could mean the loss of great information all together. I feel this chapter could have been put a little more towards the beginning of the book.
