This article about the release of Britney Griner. Griner was locked up in Russia for the last 10 months due to her breaking some weed laws in Russia. In order for her release to be granted, President Biden had to send Russia back one of their notorious Russian arms dealers Viktor Bout.

This is a very controversial release, because of the opportunity to bring home Marine Paul Whelan, who has been stuck in Russia for the last four years.

This article is news because it talks about something very major happening within our country. Especially with a country that we are currently in a war in.

I do think the article is too long, we do not need to know the whole background of Britney Griner. but I understand because this target audience is a little different than their other articles. Most of their audience is for just sports fans, but there will be many people looking at this article that are just interested in politics. So they had to give background for the person.

16 year old polar bear Homer has died this morning at 7 a.m., in the exhibit.

The zoo does not know what the cause of the death is yet, but they are working hard to determine it.

Zoo director Chris P. Bacon, said this about the death, “We will do everything in our power to determine how this bear died. Animal welfare and the preservation of species are our primary goals here at the zoo.”

It has been a hard month for the zoo, as two other animals have also died, a bobcat and a giraffe.

If George Davey could describe his life in one phrase, he would describe it as an wild experience.

Davey was not the nicest kid in the room when he was a kid. He hated school and did whatever it took for him to get out of the classroom. But at the age of 14, he found something that took all the distractions away from him, and that was his love of basketball.

Davey moved away from his hometown in London, to attend one of the best high schools in England in Southhampton, to focus on basketball. Doing this gave George the mindset, that he can do something for the rest of his life. So he set his sights on bigger dreams, and that was America.

This article is about a press conference Deshaun Watson had regarding his first game. Deshaun had to miss the first 11 games of the season because of being accused of sexual misconduct by 21 different girls. This week he will play his first game back against his old team. He said this about the situation, “But with my legal team and my clinical team, there’s only football questions I can really address at this time.”

I do not believe this is new because this situation has already been played out and punishments and everything have already been handed out. Even if people do not agree with the punishment, I do not think it is still news.

This audience is football fans, but also people all over America. Because this was an NFL star that was involved in a huge sexual misconduct scandal, and who will still not say he has done it.

Ethan Alfers has only been known to work hard throughout his whole life. It is one thing the man prides himself on. Alfers came from a home where his dad taught him the only way in life to get anywhere is through hard work. Ethan applied it to everything, especially his athletics.

Alfers has brought this way of life to the basketball court. After he did not see the court much last basketball season, he worked hard this last spring and summer on his jumper and body and saw much improvement. This all paid off for him when the Morningside Men’s JV basketball team was losing to Dakota Wesleyan. The team needed a spark off the bench, and Alfers delivered.

He scored 10 points in a 5-minute stint, helping them come back to win the game. Alfers said this about his performance, ” I have to thank my dad, he always ingrained in me that hard work always pays off, and it paid off this game.”

This story is about subway making a new footlong cookie.

The audience is subway lovers and all cookie lovers. especially because subway is the highest-selling cookie fast-food restaurant. The benefit for the reader is taking on the new deal before it’s gone, which is most likely after Christmas time. The benefits of the company are that they are letting the public know about this new menu item. This is different than other stories we have read because it is almost an advertisement for a product, not an actual news story. I would not run this story.
