This is a very interesting topic, and was covered well; as soon as I was reading it and wondering to myself how it was possible for Coy to identify herself as female so early in her life, the story...

"Students raised on a diet of Internet posts and instant messages may be unlikely to be future newspaper readers". I liked these two quotes a lot. The first I feel pretty accurately reflects what ...

I land somewhere in the middle of this argument. I believe that impartiality should remain a focus of good news writing but that news also has a lot that it could learn from the opinion and column ...

As someone who worked on editing the story and making the call to go ahead and publish it despite knowing that the situation was still changing, I think situations like this can be really tricky bu...

I wish this article had been more shocking for me. Unfortunately, the norm for the severely mentally ill is marginalization and dehumanization, especially in places where mental illness is the most...

This is interesting - I'm glad they published it, but I agree with the people who say they could have gone deeper. I say this because it doesn't go into the role of TA's much - how many students a...

I agree with Jackie it make this guy look like a bad guy, the way they put so much negative vibes in about his parents saying that they don't condone this. I think they wrote it the right way givin...

I really like the idea of that mini profile on the skater. I think instead of writing stories of students with cool hobbies we could film them in action. I also love the ideas of profiling entire t...

I agree with Sonja, in that I found similarities between this story and the Tam Indian feature. The reason this segregated prom has gone on for so long is because of an illogical "reverence" for ...

I agree with Aaron that the NYT wasn't giving free publicity to the pranksters of the world. The reporter, J. David Goodman, provided detailed coverage by speaking with the New York City Police Dep...

If teachers are crazy enough to deal with a bunch of teenagers, then I wouldn't say all teachers are completely sane. I would not feel safe at all if all my teachers had a gun in the classroom. I r...
