Good use of statistical citation to show the extreme of the problem. Nice breakdown of numbers at the end.

This story humanizes Michelle Obama. It shows her progression from average working mother to "mom in chief" and first lady. This gives her leeway as it highlights her transitional phase while she sorts out her mission as first lady.

This is thoughtful advice to a difficult situation, and it would be helpful if the author included more specific ways in which to address the father regarding the son's behavior--not simply to avoid discussing add/adhd diagnosis.

This is a very concerning topic and the multiple source citations show that there is a serious problem with over prescription, especially among today's youth. This is severe and should be looked at more closely considering these children are the future.

I would recommend this story because of the relevance of the topic within college campuses today. However, this author doesn't cite nearly enough of his sources to make his research and interviews credible. He should cite the scientists and researchers from whom he draws these conclusions about the safety of students usage.

This is quality journalism because the author articulates this scientific development in a way that can be easily understood by the average reader. This is particularly important when discussing a topic like obesity which is steadily on the rise among (not necessarily the highest-educated) average Americans. He consults many credible sources, including scientists that authored the research projects and a metabolism researcher from NIH. Overall, Brown does a good job in citing the importance of these findings and the role they could play aiding in the fight against obesity.

Good sources with a good balance between description of the context and the delicacy of the scare-factor.

This is quite an important topic. The author does a good job of correlating the new trend in "news coverage" to the severity of the current pandemic. However, I feel the author did only a mediocre job at getting information from more relevant sources.
