Three Examples of Good News Stories

       Somali Pirates on Hijack Spree Since Weekend (Yahoo.com) is a good news story because it incorporates both a full text article and video.  http://tinyurl.com/c4fvym

      Diabetic Brain Damage Risk http://tinyurl.com/d4kanf :  Informative and not long.

      IBC: Inflammatory Breast Cancer news story http://tinyurl.com/yocxxk :  Informative but must be 18 to view it on YouTube.

      Hurricane Gustav to Become Gulf Cost Monster? (National Geographic News, 2008) is good because the article is easy to read and makes deeper understanding easy by hyperlinks throughout the article; picture accompanies article. http://tinyurl.com/6fmw4v

       BlackBerry Users Experience E-mail Outage (from CNET, April 14, 2009) was informative because I am a BlackBerry user. The picture is probably the most important component because without it, I would’ve probably skipped this story; it wouldn’t have caught my attention.  I do recognize that non-BlackBerry users probably wouldn’t give the story a second glance without or without a picture.  http://tr.im/iQYE
