  Here's the thing - of course I clicked on this and of course I loved it. But the thing I see so much in the internet era is these stupid little mini blog post articles, grabbing something from CNN.

  Interesting combination of reporting on something that actually happened and sensationalizing it for viewership. It would be interesting for us to try some balance of this-opinions on news stories in this shorter format would probably increase readership, especially on some less grabbing topics, but I wonder if there's a way to do this kind of coverage more seriously. Most of our op/ed stories tend to be about wider issues affecting society at large or super micro issues affecting individual Tam News reporters, maybe we could try to do some op/ed stories about the kind of things we cover in news-local stories affecting more than just one person in the Tam community.
