This is really good journalism because it is factual and informative while being entertaining and endearing at the same time. It was sourced to the best of its ability because the criminals wished to be unnamed.

I truely loved this article. It was so inspiring to know that there is a good side to everyone, including criminals. It was interesting for me to discover that programs like this exist! I think this program is not only good for the criminals, but an amazing opportunity for the children to learn both the books and to be able to spend some quality time with a parent that is missing in his or her life.

I dont think this is good journalism because it was not sourced in depth enough and only talked about opinions. it didn't have any interesting facts and substance to the article.

I found it interesting that this article addressed media convergence like we have discussed in our MCOM class. I am very eager to find out if print will fade away or stay around during my lifetime.

I found this to be very good journalism because it was well-sourced, factual, and intriguing. It was interesting to know that the stock went down but the actual company was doing well.

I wanted to learn even more about this topic! It is interesting to consider how this company is doing well in such a bad economy. It makes me question what American's values are today with what they spend their money on.

This is good journalism because it is very informative of a current political event. It is very factual and gets to the point. I wish it had more context and caught my interest more.

This article helped me learn more about local politics. I am usually not aware of the local elections in Baltimore so it was different for me to read.

This is really good journalism because the article is full of rich information on the topic. There are also many interesting statistics comparing employment of men and women. It is interesting how it also related to the economy today.

It was a very factual unbiased article that taught me a lot. I never realized that women tend to gravitate to more stable jobs and men tend to work more outside and are risk takers. I really enjoyed reading this article.

This is good journalism because it goes form the broad message of what happened and as it progresses gets to the fine details. The journalist kept my interest.

I wish they talked about the cause more than the grilled cheeses. I loved to hear about the different ingredients but I think they could have talked about the fundraiser a little bit more.

This is not good journalism because the article lacks substance. I feel as thought the writer needed to research more in depth before deciding to write an article.

I chose to read this article because the title caught my attention but I ended up being unsatisfied. I wish I could learn more.

This is good journalism because the journalist get straight to the point at the beginning of the article and becomes more specific and it goes on.

I loved this article because it relates directly to college students and I can relate. I found it very interesting to know that a student from my school has started a social networking sit that has reached public recognition. I will most likely end up looking at the site for myself and learning students' goals for his or her time spent in college.

I feel that this journalism was decent because the journalist took a humanistic approach to writing this article. It held my interest.

i enjoyed this article because it came from the viewpoint of the family and how much it meant to them that his remains were found. I think it was an inspirational story that indicates the United States cares about their soldiers.

I found this to be good journalism because the article gained my interest and had a nice flow to it. It told the reader the events that happened in chronological order. It was also pretty well sourced.

I personally loved this article because I am interested in dance and it was inspiring. The article had such a positive feel to it.

This is mediocre journalism because it can gain the interest of the reader, but I am not convinced it is an unbiased article. I think the wroter of this article had some racial tension and maybe a negative attitude towards America.

My whole viewpoint of the article changed once I knew this was written for people in England. The bias in the article may have been created from research the writer found or possibly the writer's bias him or herself.
