Joseph's Rating
3.3

This is not quality journalism, because this is a story about something that is fairly irrelevant to the world. It's not really news, more like a magazine article.

This is a good article because it is short, factual, and to the point. What it lacks is a view from the other side of this conflict.

This story is more like a short biography than a news article. It's very informative, but doesn't focus on a current event or cite any experts.

This story is hard to follow as it doesn't have one main idea or issue. There is not enough background information for a reader to understand the article.

This story is quality journalism because it gives both parties a voice, describing the points of view of the dump owner as well as the concerned neighbors whose children are getting sick.

This is not quality journalism, because what is said in a page long article could be said in a sentence or two.

The story mostly sources the victim of the killing, but few people in the Turkey government. It's pretty fair and factual.
