Review
There are certain things that I like about this article and there are other things that I think could use improvement. I thought the context of the article was important because if indeed this "runoff forecaster" tool is created, it could really be beneficial to helping restore the Chesapeake Bay. However, I think the journalism would have been much more effective had the writer cite credible sources to back up the information that they were reporting on.

I agree that sources are very, very important. Often we’re in such a hurry to put an article together we just grab the most available sources—instead of digging for the most relevant or enlightening. Hopefully doing these reviews will help us all think about the sources we’d like to include in our projects.
