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 thought this article was outstanding. The add ons and all the new technology really made it more interesting. The videos made it seem extremely real. After I read it I told my dad we should get g...
This is really astonishing to see how many kids under the age of two are now playing with phones and tablets on a day-to-day basis. When I was younger, I never played with technology or watched an ...
This was a very interesting article, I never really looked into online college. I think this, as others have already said, is very convenient for people who are good with technology, and have a ver...
What's interesting to me is that the article states that 39% of Americans are "very happy or relieved" that this gun control legislation wasn't passed, when President Obama said that over 80% of Am...
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...
Samsung is set to announce a 'smartwatch' within the next month or two, but I really don't see why. It's helpful to have basic access to apps/time on your wrist but it's not the future. I've used G...

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...
It's a risk, and people need to know this so they don't take it.
I believe the topic does qualify to be published because it shines light on things that people would not normally know about. the fact that some "hipster" parents are boycotting the use of diapers ...
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...
While reading this article, I kept thinking back to prom last year. Some of the things in the article applied to me, but others didn't. Then I realized though that prom is different for everyone, e...

Chronicled in this post is Cody Brown's ongoing battle with the New York Times following Brown's creation of a program which would allow users to generate Snow Fall-esque digital layouts at a fract...
The tough part about this is the fact that although the two did have a consensual relationship the law still states that an 18 year old and a 12-16 year old can not have a sexual relationship. I do...
I think that this article makes a very valid point. Maybe English classes should be more structured and focus on smaller aspects of English at a time similar to how math is taught. Rather than read...
