I am a High School journalist. As a sophomore, this is my first year writing for our school paper, the Urban Legend. As a "cub" I have developed the Health page and written many articles focused on Health including H1N1 and Mono. News Trust is a way for me to learn Media Literacy and find great sources/ story ideas for my articles. Being part of the millennial generation, I fall victim to an overload of uninformative, superficial media coverage. News trust is a way for me to fight back against these forms of "journalism" and begin to join a larger intellectual community.
This story really uses the facts of the day to make a larger claim about the future direction of the policy and focus of our nation. This story also uses historical context in order to better understand current Health Care reform and the larger reasons behind it.

This story is not quality Journalism because it expresses a very one sided view and does not contain creditable sources. I felt this was more of a way to attack President Obama rather than an actual news story
This is a very interesting opinion piece because it really opens the mind of the Republican position and conflict around Health Care Reform. The story appropriately uses historical context to explain the current Republican strategy. However, the story goes beyond the basic facts and beautifully dives into how the mindset of the people and the media influenced Republican leaders
This story took many twists and turns. The article had an original angle about Health Care and the media's relationship to the people. However, at other times the article seemed to not provide factual information, but rather ranted about how boring and diluted Health Care Reform made the media.
Yes, I really enjoyed this story. I found it made a very convincing argument about the progression of women's health in health care. I found it very factual yet opinionated.
This is a great article! I learned a lot!
