In my opinion this story is very newsworthy. We dont realize how many people often times abuse the work comp. programs. Its one thing to get hurt on the job but to become a lazy worker because your getting paid even though your capable of performing work duties is unacceptable.

Overall I would not recommend this story. I dont think this story isnt very newsworthy. Also I feel this story only appeals to individuals who are involved with underarmor.
I think this is a thoughtful idea. I feel that the community is reaching out to those in need. It seems as if their trying to come together as a community and get people on track financially as were starting to come out of the recession.
I agree that the generation today isnt worried about politics and other important topics. We are a lazy generation and just want things to be handed to us on a silver platter.
I feel that this story is very newsworthy. Considering all of the violent attcks and bullying that go on in schools today I feel that these scenarios are important for the public to know. People need to be aware that this is an ongoing issue that is reoccuring all over the nation. This is a topic that should not be hidden. This story had good sourcing that came directly from the victim. However, the story could have been biased considering others involved were not quoted to tell their side.
This story isnt as informative as it shoudl be. I feel that there should have been more in depth information regarding the plan. The Chesapeake Bay is of high concern to Marylanders and I feel this story didnt go into enough detail regarding the changes and conflicts included in the Watershed Implementation Plan.In my opinion they shouldnt have written the story if they didnt have answers for this topic of concern.
After reading this story, I have learned so much about William Donald Schaefer and his contributions he made to the city in which I live in. This story gives a very descriptive picture of the former Mayor in my mind and really highlights how he has changed the city of Baltimore for the better. Overall, this story was well written and informative as well.
This story was not well written at all. It did not have appropriate sources that backed up the concerns of illegal Brazilians in Martha's Vineyard. After reading this story I felt that it was not convincing that these illegal Brazians were bringing harm to visitors of Martha's Vineyard.
This story had a lot of good sources. I felt that if gave lots of informative information and we know whats going on in Japan. Also, I feel as though it expresses the severity of the situation and how the Japanesse react to situations within their Country.

This was a somewhat interesting news story. However, there was not enough credible sources in my opinion. Also, the title gave away the story and you alreayd knew what to expect before reading. It was almost as if you didnt have to read on to find out more information they told you ... More »
