"Impartial" journalism: Are we kidding ourselves? (1st and 2nd HW, 10.29) - 81 views

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 ...

Cool New Publishing Tools - 106 views

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...

TAs Cheat at Redwood - 81 views

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...

Getting it First vs. Getting it Right - 98 views

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...

Guns in Class for Teachers - 71 views

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...

"My Daughter's Homework is Killing Me" - 53 views

The writer was able to maintain a light voice which I think aided getting his point across. As a lot of people have noted, this article is amusing. However while being amused the writer was able to...

Rape Culture at Paly High - 46 views

This article was very well done. It was interesting (and horrible) to read about the after-effects of rape. Like Jordan said, it would have been interesting to hear quotes from Tina's peers, becaus...

Media coverage influencing shootings? - 20 views

I think that media coverage plays an extremely important part in the public's perception of events. While I think that the Boston bombings have been covered fairly well overall, news stations have ...

Florida Student Arrested for Relationship with Same-Sex Teammate - 23 views

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...

Opinion: The damaging messages of proms - 21 views

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...

Dress Codes Are Sexist & Homophobic - 45 views

I'd say this article makes all kinds of valid points. Girls are not responsible for keeping boys from getting "distracted" by what they might be wearing. It's true that there are a lot of hormones ...

Baby's First iPhone App - 24 views

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 ...

Where Mental Asylums Live On-NYTimes - 15 views

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...

Student Print Newspapers are Slowly Dying - 26 views

"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 ...

New Google Glass Apps - 24 views

When I first read this I thought "whoa this is so cool". Now thinking about it Google Glass is just very impractical, especially if facebook or news stories keep popping up in your face. Especially...

Drive-by Hazing on Underclassmen at Redwood - 32 views

I agree with what everyone has been saying - this new trend by Redwood upperclassmen is just disgusting and rude. I don't think hazing is acceptable, especially when it turns into potential harm or...

FBI ran child porn site for two weeks in attempt to identify over 5,000 pedophiles - 32 views

Although the FBI was involved in the facilitation of child pornography, I think it's an effective way to deal with pedophiles. The issue of child pornography can barely be looked at as ethical, so ...

Racially Segregated Prom, Georgia - 52 views

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 ...

Attention-Deficit Drugs Face New Campus Rules - 30 views

I think that technically Adderall constitutes cheating, just as steroids do in sports. I think that people use it as a sort of short cut to good grades; it's true that the drug helps you concentrat...
