I didn't find this to be very good journalism. The article wasn't well sourced since there was only one source from Councilman Nicholas C. D’Adamo Jr. I thought the author should have went more into detail about why Kweisi Mfume is not going to be running in the mayoral race instead of discussing other ideas that don't seem to relate to the topic presented in the title and don't really do much to enrich the article. I noticed the second quote by Councilman Nicholas C. D’Adamo Jr. didn't have a closing quotation mark and this should have been caught if the article was well proofread.
This story is extremely relevant since the topic is a pressing issue of today. The article was well written and flowed quite easily when read, so it was very easy to understand. The story was quite detailed and somewhat lengthy so that the big picture could be provided. I wasn't quite sure why only the first name was given for some people who were quoted within the article. Overall, I would say this was very good journalism, very informative and very clear.
The article gave background information on very severe past tornado storms and number of lives lost in those storms to give the readers to give a basis of comparison on how severe this storm really was. I thought quotes from Obama were very appropriate because I'm sure the public would be very interested to find out what the federal government has to say in response to this disaster. I also liked the addition of a quote from a meteorologist about how the weather condition of the areas may be for a few days to come. I'm not sure if the author is responsible for uploading the videos of some of the tornadoes from the storm, but either way, I thought they were good to include so that viewers can actually see some of the devastation ...

This article would be considered very good journalism in my opinion. I was impressed at how much information was gathered and how well the information was organized. There were many sources presented and even a statement from the president himself, which is beneficial since the article is about his policies. I liked that the author included different opinions concerned with whether or not the prisoners should be sent to America. This is also very relevant since this is a topic many are concerned with right now and have probably been hearing about in the news.
This was a good article. I think a bit more information regarding what Schaefer did during his time as governor could have added to the article, but other than that, it was pretty informative. I thought the addition of the information given by Schaefer's spokesman was appropriate because this was someone who knew Schaefer for an extended period of time and probably knew the most relevant information regarding Schaefer's funeral arrangements.
I would consider this good journalism. I've read an article similar to this one before, so I had prior knowledge, but I bet a lot of people reading this article would be surprised to learn about the reasons for the current, almost equal, unemployment rate between the two sexes and some of the reasons why women are paid less than men. I would definitely recommend this story because it focuses on a very current issue, the recession, and the effects of that issue on employment, which many are concerned about today. I thought it was interesting that the author said that, "...many American women wish...they weren't the primary earners for their families." I find that to be interesting, but I wonder how true that really is.
It is good journalism because it was well written, very relevant for those who live in Baltimore and deal with the traffic in that area, and gave good sources. I also enjoyed that the author gave background information about other times and different places in which similar bike plans were created. I would definitely recommend this story to someone in the Baltimore area.
I believe this is pretty good journalism. I think the story was factual, from as far as we can tell, based on the different accounts given my certain individuals. I did notice that sometimes names of those quoted weren't given, but I'm not sure if that was due to privacy issues given that the topic is quite controversial and individuals may not feel comfortable putting their names out there. I would recommend this story because I think that it was written clearly and gave a great deal of facts and personal accounts of the incidents that could be meaningful or interesting for viewers.
In my opinion, I found this to be good journalism. The facts seemed to relate with the news coverage I've been watching on TV, but this includes a more detailed look into the confusion about radiation levels caused by a mistake on the part of Tepco. I did, however, feel like the article should have given more focus to the Tepco error, since that was what the title intended it was all about. There was some information that I believe could have been omitted since it didn't pertain much to the mistake and it would have been beneficial if more specific information about the mistake was included.
I thought this article was pretty good. From what I learned from the statistics in this article and what I've seen in my own experience, this seems to be a very common problem so the issue is quite relevant and important. Very important, in fact, when the safety of children is possibly being compromised.
This is most definitely not good journalism. One issue was that there was a very poorly written sentence, so poorly written in fact, that I could not make out what the author was trying to say. That error should have been easily caught before this article was posted. Also, many of the sources don't seem credible, especially the ones that don't include the names of the individuals giving the information.

Bob, thanks for you comment. I hadn’t really thought about how the government could be using Tepco as a scapegoat, though that’s an interesting point. I would definitely want to read more articles about this topic to see if I can find more sides to this story.
