My major role for the blog was basically the "Actual story" page. I focused on what really happened and how it happened making sure that I checked multiple sources and that they all said the same things. I focused on Wigand, Wallace, and Bergman and basically what they had to deal with they went through this whole tobacco ordeal. Just wanted to see if it wasn't just Wigand whose life was turned upside. Even the relationship between Wallace and Bergman were severed. I also tried to find information on the CEO of Brown and Williamson at the time and came to find nothing. For some reason I could find anything other than the fact that Thomas Sandefur was the CEO. There is no real information about him and I have only seen one picture of him. So i decided to not put that up on the blog, since i didn't find anything on him. There was a lot on Wigand but the original 60 minutes interview was nowhere to be found until Travis came across it. It took forever looking for that video and I was not able to find anything at all.
Overall, I basically had to make sure that the information I found was not on the movie but on the real story and that was a challenge for me. It was hard to distinguish between those two and I found that some things were not accurate with the information I received when I fact checked. I am so very thankful for the Jeffrey Wigand website because that directed me to many different websites and enabled me to find a lot of information.
