Tiger Woods

Fan reaction: I think that what Tiger Woods did was wrong but it was expected. He is a millionaire and all the girls would want him but that doesnt mean that he has to right to cheat on his wife. He hurt his kids and his wife, but its over now so the topic should just be dropped. It is good that he apologized for his actions and needs to take time off and be by himself for awhile

Reporter: As a reporter i believe that he did the right thing by coming to a small group of people and apologizing. It took courage to do that and he did so its all good now. He should be opening up to the public, but maybe sometime in the near future he will open up to the public.

Future of newspaper response

I think that it is bad that newspaper industries are declining. Newspapers give many different views for people, and let them choose what they want to read, not just focusing on one story like the news or internet. I predict within the next 15 years there will be no more newspapers, everything will be electronic.

News Criteria activity

1. Farmington man stuck in corn silo for 8 hours- unusualness, proximity, human interest.
2. Man blows a 4.0 blood alcohol level, and daughter blows a 1.5, while driving- unusualness, timeliness, human interest.
3. Toyota hybrids anti-lock brakes have been jamming- significance, proximity, timeliness
4. Family members turn in members of their own family for stealing purses- unusualness, timeliness, proximity, human interest.
5. University of Minnesota basketball player Royce White quits the team- prominence, human interest.

2-4-2010 article response

Article Response: When I read the title of this article i thought i would hate it but, I agree with Ashton Kutchers idea of hating Valentines Day. He says that we should have 364 of romance and 1 day of hate. That seems like a pretty cool idea, and its funny.

Response to article Make the NCAA Tournament Bigger

Response to article Make the NCAA Tournament Bigger

I disagree with the writer on this article because the NCAA March Madness bracket already has 65 teams. The event lasts three weeks, and if more teams were added, then it would just be longer. All the good teams make it to the tournament, and if more teams were added they would be beat in the first round because of how good they are. They should just keep the separate tournaments for the teams that did not make it.
