My news feed for February 26th ranged in topics greatly. It went everywhere from a church burglary in Hampton to articles about the election. The way they are reported it is very easy to see the articles topics. I was able to decipher what each article was going to be about without having to read the whole article. This is a a good skill of the headlines. You are able to decipher which article you want to read based on their headlines. Feedly allows you to go directly to the sources website when you find something you want to read.
Many of these articles are focused on the democratic debates as well as focused on news stories in my area. This shows my that these articles about the senate and other political articles were very popular today. These articles were following the digital journalism role of being informative. Each article attempts to just tell the reader what is going on. Rarely do you see opinion coming out in these articles. This allows us to be able to take in information without being persuaded to change our opinion about any of the topics. Each company who puts out these stories are very reliable because of this.
One of the articles I read was about how a 95 year old tragically was killed in a tractor trailer crash in Windsor. This article detailed how the man was killed without glorifying the crash. It just provided the reader facts about the tragedy. The author included quotes from a news release about the situation so the reader could get all of the information possible. Another article I read was about a man who was arrested in connection with a church burglary in Hampton. This article went into all of the details about the case including police reports about the event. Overall, these two articles were very informative about the event. I was able to get all the information without being persuaded in any way.
