1.  I do believe that after taking this class my leads and over all writing news articles and stories has gotten better.

2. I know my organization isn’t good at all, when I write my head goes all over the place so I just throw it down and reorganization it and it doesn’t finish completely organized and in order. To me an article needs to be as long as it needs to be with a good lead and getting all the points across that need to be made. Pictures and video to the article do really help. Actually seeing the article with pictures or video can really bring in the community and bring emotion to the article when you can actually see what’s going on, instead of just reading it and making your own picture in your head.

Article

This article was very short and to the point. The headline caught my attention more then the lead. There were also no pictures or video to go with it. Although the earthquake was so small I don’t really know what they could have taken pictures of if there wasn’t any damage. But they maybe could have put a picture of the earthquake graph or something. I don’t know I read it in like 1 minute. The article also had zero quotes. They could have gone out and asked people if they felt it, especially student on the near by college campus.

Jeicy is a transfer junior from Peru South America. She is only 19 years old and came to America to live the dream her father didn’t get to live, college in the states. She has everyday struggles like any other college student but add on family matters and her world is a lot more complicated then yours and mine. This whole experience has made her family much closer.

private college

Private college rates are higher then public college rates because of the size and the class. This is all proven to be true in the data that Liz Koop CEO of EducationQuest Foundation in Lincoln Nebraska (which is a non-profit organization). Liz Koop specializes in college planning and helps high school students in Nebraska get into college, even if their family can’t financially afford it.

student athlete

Student athletes struggle everyday with school and their sports just to keep their scholarship and to be able to stay in school. They work 30 to 40 hours a week just on school and sports, which adds up to a regular full time job.

migration story

It has been confirmed that from May 15^th through October of next year, no one will be allowed to work in the Library Building. Everything will have to be moved out of the building and relocated for the time being. They don’t know where they will move everything but are working on figuring that out. I spoke with Shannon Smith about her classes being moved into Roadman.

“My classes got moved three weeks ago, I like it in Roadman better cause its closer and the chairs are a lot comfier.”

Of the people I talked to no one didn’t like the move. Smith says “it’s more convenient for everyone, so I don’t know why they wouldn’t like it. ”

Michaela hasn’t had her first class in the ICN room yet but she is “looking forward to the shorter walk.”

The classes are going to stay this way for a long time so people better get use to the change. All this moving around will be worth it in the end when Morningside finishes updating the campus and is put to use in the great way it is being made to be.

News Article

Gay marriage got legalized in Illinois Tuesday! They are now the 15th state to have legalized same sex marriage. The article I found on it was way to long! I read half of it and quit. The words and “language” they used was way to confusing for me and boring. There was a video before the article that I watched so I still got the information I needed out of the article. They needed to “dumb down” the article because it was a politics topic, and some people just don’t understand politics very well.
