The Feb. 2014 Odyssey. It looks nice.

Which paper immediately grabbed your interest? Why? 

that one

What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it? 

HIPSTERISM TAKES ANOTHER SPIN. HIPSTERISM!!!!??!?!?!??!?

How many stories are on the front page of your favorite? 

nah

What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.

yeah they have those ones in common

What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc. 

different fonts and column organization

Were these similar to what you saw last class when you looked at daily newspapers from around the world? 

yeah

closedf polling elections explicitly favor the non independents and played a huge role in hillarys win. voters are being disenfranchised bro

1. Andrew Jackson will be replaced with Harriet Tubman and the other dollar bills will have influential women on the back of them. Originally they were going to change Hamilton too, but the theater geeks would make too much of a fuss because of Hamilton the musical.

2. In the aftermath of the flint water crisis, there were 3 officials charged for covering up the pipe negligence to make money, which is rare these days due to the government basically getting away with being neglectful. They tampered the evidence, didn't take necessary precautions, and willfully misleading others about the water quality. Rick "Dick Dastardly" Snyder is going to drink the poisoned water for 30 days in order to prove how he DIDNT poison countless Flint children and adults for years through negligence. He isn't going to hell, no sir!

3. They are invigorated because the gods of capitalism have shone down brightly upon their campaigns after their wins in New York. They are depressingly close to winning the nominations, and Hillary could still win even if they lost every other contest. Trump could still lose. This tuesday, the Primaries in Pennsylvania will take place. The "Win" in New York interrupted Bernie's recent streak of wins, even if the win was contributed to by disenfranchising independents and poor parts of the city.

4. The head of the state education agency was sued by a Texas teachers union over a new, unfair system which ties teacher marks to student progress. They hope to make it so that this system is not implemented. The AISD isn't implementing the system currently, as it is not mandatory. They do not use a Value Added Model, which is a model that measures teachers' effectiveness on student scores.

5. Volkswagen is going to spend one billion dollars on reparations for americans who bought the cars that cheat on emissions test. This is necessary because this is a violation of the Clean Air act, and reparations must be made. This is not enough, so it is just the tip of the iceberg.'

6. Hundreds feared Dead in Shipwreck  (A2)

THere are at least 500 casualties in a shipwreck on the Mediterranean. This is bad. HOo boy this is super bad and it really says a lot about current immigration policies in eastern europe.

I chose this article because PEOPLE DIED!!!! and that s bad. aals0 we r learning about this in World Geograpthpy so whoopdie doo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mr winter im evading my taxes

I will be using the modl column

Canzano: 16 years after Oregon State football gang-rape allegation, Brenda Tracy steps from the shadows

yeah that one

Neon Genesis Evangelion!

1. They found her body, and charged Meechaiel Khalil Criner with the strangling. The source was  anonymous. They provided this information because they felt obligated to help out the public in the murder of the woman. This has attracted national coverage due to the shock value inherent in a murder of a young woman.

2. Tech employers tend to pay women less than men for the same job. Hired.com is a website dedicated to surveying the jobs and salaries of different people in the area. The cause of this inequity, says Hired.com, is the fact that women expect and are expected to settle for a lower salary than men. This doesn't really say much about technology companies in general, but more about the state of the american job market. The article does seem like it is promoting Hired.com a bit to much, but that probably just because all the instances in which it says the name are highlighted.

3. Pat McCrory tried to go back on his law banning transgendered people access to the bathrooms that match their gender identity, but took half measures, only implementing an executive order that disallows discrimination in jobs. The ACLU called him out on this. Many businesses and performers have cancelled the projects and tours for the state, as a protest to the law.

4. The number of child suicide bombers in Boko Haram has increased 11-fold from 4 to 44 in a year. A consequence of this trend, aside from the many deaths, is a distrust of children, which will cause distraught in the communities. These are not suicide attacks due to the children being forced into them or not truly understanding the consequences of their actions. Boko Haram is an Islamic extremist terrorist group that terrorizes Africa as a way to reclaim the lands that they were "forced out" of. It and Al-Qaida are both aligned in religion and both have similar goals, but are different in location. Many people join them to get ahead economically.

5. Story on Flint Michigan water crisis. Told people to start to use water in order to flush out the pipes to accelerate the repair rate. Very good, quick and informative.

6. The top ten list is essentially a very formulaic cluster of sports columns, shortened down for people to pick and choose the athletes that they support. It wasn't interesting, and I would cut all of them and replace it with something that didn't appeal to the crotchety old men who read these.

i hate u dad

Bike racing is an intense sport. I should know, my relationship with my dad growing up was largely based on the many bike races he took me to. We would always go to the racetrack out on the country to watch him race along with 40 of his identical rivals. It was never not hot; the cracked asphalt and insane surrounding climate made for an almost deadly combination. The food trucks were parked out by the road so that they might capitalize on the hungry cycling fanatics by selling expensive burritos and tacos. They were absolutely loaded with spicy material; the kind designed to make you buy another one of their equally expensive sparkling waters from their shop. The food wasn't bad, but I never was able to order them myself, being a shy ten year old with no money to my name.The races took about an hour and a half, and I hated almost every second of it. Words cannot describe how much I hated going to these races. It took years before my dad actually took me seriously when I told him on how I never wanted to go back to the racetrack again. "It'll grow on you son," he always said. "I need your support when I'm out on the track." That was bullshit, most of the time I couldn't even recognize him when he zoomed past every ten or so minutes. He was never in it for me, even as a little kid I saw right through that. He did it for him. He did it for himself, and now every time he mentions that he went on bike ride that morning I can't help but feel that that selfish part of my father never truly went away.

its like buutter baby

The New York Times may not have been completely accurate in the execution of the story, but that still does not excuse the NFL's inadequacy to help make sports an activity where nobody has to die. The NFL's main point was that the tests were preliminary, and had been taken over 15 years ago. However, I don't believe this to be a long enough time to change ways completely, and the fact that all concussion reports are not mandated is a shady dealing in it's best. The Times should probably retract the article for the little mistakes, but this shouldn't be the end of the crusade to make sports safer.

outilen croutline cloutline pbthhhhh

Game stories are very important but its sometimes difficult to pull off due to the ever shifting public eye. Its also true that if a newspaper is too hasty with their story and ends up not covering the story fairly there will be massive pushback from sports fans and the like.

Storyline is the base of a Sports story, as it is all other stories. It captivates the audience even more than they would be than just regular statistics. You provide Context for the story for those who havent already seen it or dont know the surrounding information. You provide quotes to maintain a human aspect of authenticity, and provide the Key Statistics and Plays to keep a level of professionalism.


Put the context in the nut graph, as well as some of the statistics.

Get quotes from all sides of the story, try to find the other side of the story.

done lol
