Week 2: Katie Rocks! CLOSED

1. An opinion piece from the New York Times about the mosque and general
racism/religious prejudices in America. I think it starts with an
interesting story as its hook. Also, it relates to our next edition which
is an added bonus.

2. A piece from Washington Post about women's rights and progress but also
fall backs. Balances interesting information and pleasurable read very
nicely.

Bonus pieces:
From Olivia and the NYT: Your brain on Computers.

From Marshall (great piece to read if you're working on the center spread) and CNN: Teens becoming fake Christians.

Week 1: CLOSED!

1. What fact checking means online: This is a great piece from this Sunday's NYT Magazine. What are your thoughts on fact checking in the internet age? How can we, as a newspaper, do a better job of fact checking? What do you think about the writer's final thought?

2. How I almost saved the earth: This is awesome. And I don't use that word lightly. What a great example of factual satire. And what a great read for the eco-conscious Bay Area inhabitants. Is this an effective essay? Why or why not?

Share your thoughts and brilliance!
