This article has potential, but lacks a balanced report. The quotes used to support the the conversion of waste to energy are much stronger than those in opposition. There are no direct quotes from the other side. Overall, the facts are not coherent or brought together in a clear manner.
I think this is an example of good journalism because the issue and supporting facts are present in a clear, unbiased manner. There are multiple sources quoted that respond to both sides of the issue. The article gives readers a well-rounded perspective on the topic.
This story provides a lot of detail on the research taking place and is strongly sourced. Several experts are quoted and the methods being used in the research are clearly outlined. Overall, I believe this is an example of good journalism because it is highly factual and unbiased.
I believe this story is balanced and offers background on the issue as well as a clear discussion of the outcome. Both sides are quoted and given a voice. The facts are presented without bias or personal commentary on the part of the author.
Both sides of the argument are not present in this article. The author clearly identifies with those who believe climate change is a serious issue, but he does not quote those who agree with him. He quotes government officials on the other side and than gives his opinion. The article is not balanced.
I believe this article is informative and clearly supports one point of view. The opinion of the author is known from the start and he supports his beliefs with well-documented evidence. The tone of the author is somewhat condescending and in my opinion takes away slightly from the overall article. However, it is well researched and supported.
