A brief, unbalanced look at what would happen if the FFELP is closed. The only quotations included are from private lenders, and the reporter focuses almost solely on how this change would affect those lenders.

Doesn't really explain what the program does. Shows a bit of bais. Doesn't have any quotes from a member of the federal government.

Loses points for fairness. It fails to adequately explain the government's position on the matter.

Another look at Obama's student loan proposal. While the story highlighted benefits and detriments to getting rid of FFELP, I noticed that the writer Aldo Svaldi only quotes those who oppose cutting the program. This article would benefit from a deeper analysis—for example, Svaldi says that "another concern is whether the U.S. Dept. of Education can duplicate the local outreach that lenders provide, especially in rural states." What local outreach? And why is there more in rural states? Why wouldn't the U.S. Dept. of Education be able to duplicate that? I found myself with more questions than answers when I reached the end.

It's bad because students that can't afford college won't be able to attend, because some don't have money for loans. And most importantly DEBT will come back if you don'y pay back your loans.
