Trying to Close Orphanages Where Many Aren’t Orphans at All
Haiti is filled with many ‘orphans’. I put orphans in quotations because many of them technically aren’t orphans. Many of the children do have parents living, but because of the living conditions in Haiti, many parents cannot take care of their children. In response, sometimes children are dropped off at orphanages by their own parents.
This is newsworthy because it shows worldwide involvement. I have traveled to Haiti and seen how many children there actually. The nation is very uneducated on how to raise their children that an orphanage seems like the only logical answer. The men and women are poorly educated on topics like sex education so they do not understand the effects they have on their lives and their children’s lives.

Families volunteer for annual event
Every year at Midland University in Fremont, Ne Thanksgiving meals are delivered to those not able to cook their own. This requires many volunteers. The event is quite large and many people in the community of Fremont help out. They either pack the meals up at the college or deliver the meals.
I believe this is newsworthy because the event is so close to the community of Fremont. It has a history and people volunteer to help out other people. Also the event impacts many people’s lives.

Madison Walsh looks and acts like a normal college student. She is majoring is Mass Communication and Religious Studies. You would not know that over two years ago she was starting to suffer from conversion disorder.
Conversion disorder is a condition where the person has blindness, paralysis, or other nervous system symptoms that cannot be explained by medical evaluation.
