The story could have been written in a more enterprising and engaging way. The lead seemed to begin with a clause and the sentences were long and confusing. If there was more than one source used then the article would seem more credible. Some cliches were also used and should have been avoided.
The lead was very weak. There were a few spelling and grammar errors which questioned the credibility of the article. The article's picture and title should have been more relevant to the story because Obama's coming to the island did not seem to be the primary focus. Also, a comment from a Brazilian immigrant would have made it more fair. All in all, it was educational but could have been written better.
This story is relevant but the headline and blurb are confusing. Also the lead does not emcompass the entire story. It seemed to be well-researched and factual.
This is a very timely story because Maryland residents are interested in Baltimore's effort to get casino slots. It is well written and concise as well as informative.
This is a well-written feature story. It begins with a soft lead and then expounds into the details of the story. It provides many details in an interesting manner.
This story is very interesting and timely especially to those from the Baltimore region. It sheds light on a very controversial event. It was based on the leaked documents so the information is hopefully accurate. There were some confusing paragraphs but other than that, I enjoyed reading the story.
It is an interesting update on a topic that was somewhat forgotten by the media. It is well-written but the story lacks quotes. It would have been more enterprising if more experts and people near the problem were interviewed.
I liked this story. I found it engaging and interesting. It followed the inverted pyramid structure by stating the more information first and then segmenting into the background information.
I enjoyed reading this story because it was well-written and informative. It was well-sourced and grammatically correct.

This was an interesting and relevant topic but the article was riddled with grammatical errors and awkward transitions. It could have been written in more of an engaging manner. More quotes would have made the story more credible.
The topic was timely and interesting. It should have focused on the other side of the issue a little more and highlighted the reactions of more people. There were a few typos and grammar mistakes. It also repeated some information and used some unnecessary partial quotes. Overall, it was an interesting story and relevant to our times.
