Hi Dan,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very organized and makes the information displayed very clear! I would’ve like a little more description in the summaries of the news articles, but I did enjoy the stories you choose. I think you did a great job of identifying the problem and who had it. In many of the articles there were multiple people affected, just like the examples we looked at in class.
