Bad News for the Gays:
https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/bermuda-s-gay-marriage-reversal-sparks-fears-others-may-follow-n849891 Timeliness: 8/10. Like this legit happened a couple weeks ago (although they kinda forgot to explain when it happened I had to hunt for the date). Consequence: 9/10. This affects like 12 couples in Bermuda, but it opens the door to more repeals later. Prominence: 6/10. It hella affects the gays, but that's about it. Proximity: 10/10. This hurts the LGBTQIA+ a lot, and I am extremely close to that community. Like a ton of my friends are gay/bi (like almost a really big amount it's kinda weird now that I think about it) so this makes me fear for them. Human Interest: 10/10. This is literally a thing that interests everyone. If you're on the left it's a huge loss (which gets clicks), and if you're on the right it's a big win. And now a new segment called "James Is Allowed To Be A Nerd, Shut Up" https://dotesports.com/overwatch/news/dallas-fuel-overwatch-cheering-twitch-21308 This article is super interesting to me, not just because the topic interests me (it does), and not just because it legitimizes eSports as a legitimate economic option. All of this is in addition to the fact that it's actually super well written. It follows the "upside down pyramid" format perfectly. Most important info in the headline, super effective NutGraph, and kinda random but still tangentially related info last. It's also very well written, at least for the target audience, and it shows a clear understanding of the subject matter. Overall, James likey.

About 10 minutes Website 2: https://www.nytimes.com/ About 5 minutes Website 3: http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment.html About 10 minutes 3 things to remember: If you're having relation issues with other countries, then the Pope is likely not the best diplomat. Congress literally can't do anything even to save their countries government. The line between politics and entertainment is getting blurrier by the day because now we have House Minority Leaders judging drag queens. Style Notes: Because I'm a little late on this I can't find the actual article that I noticed this on, but the fact that it's been 2 weeks and I still remember it clearly, it is definitely worth noting. In one of the articles I read, I noticed that the author, whose name I cannot for the life of me remember because I'd love to give them credit for their work, wrote every single paragraph as it's own self contained thing. Now this may seem like a good thing, it makes it easy to stop at any point like you're supposed to do in journalism. But the problem is it had absolutely no flow. It felt like it stopped and started. And stopped and started. And stopped. And. Started. It was awful and I hated reading it and I'm going to do everything in my power to avoid doing anything like that. |
