What are two words you do not want to say to a reporter during a media interview?

"No comment" In the broadcast journalism business, it is often assumed when someone or a company states they have "no comment", it usually means the individual or company is hiding something. While you may not have a comment to provide, you would want to tailor a response such as, "Due to pending litigation/privacy laws/family's request, we are not able to provide a comment at this time."

"Dan went to the store, where he bought bread milk eggs and candy."

The comma is located in the wrong spot. It is after where which makes the sentence a conjunction. You will also want to separate the grocery items with commas. Below is the correct way to write the sentence: "Dan went to the store where he bought bread, milk, eggs, and candy."

What communication theory allows a certain group of people to collect information and that group of people decide if the information should be disseminated to others?

The gatekeeping theory. The person who holds the information is known as the "gatekeeper" and can allow information to either be passed through the gate (usually to the media or targeted audience) or block information from being disseminated.
