Stories from today's class

Nice stories everyone. I really hope you are getting in the habit of checking newspaper Web sites for good stories. We had a nice variety today.

You don't have to read all of them, but I recommend reading at least one or two and commenting on them. Think about how they make you feel. Think about the writing. Think about the reporting. Do you come away from the story knowing more about the issue, about the person, about the human experience?

Library rape victim could regain her sight -- St. Petersburg Times

A side note on this story: It was actually posted on the St. Pete Times' blog for breaking news.

Bush intends to punish Moscow for invading Georgia -- Associated Press

Right by Miles -- St. Petersburg Times

The story on Bob Woodwards new book provides a detailed account on what Woodward has uncovered. I see this story as mainly a way to promote the book, but it still does provide some newly uncovered news.

The story on New Orleans shows a detailed account on what the city is still dealing with when it comes to hurricanes. It also shows that the city still has some issues when it comes to getting things done.
