At first when I was reading, I was wondering the whole time the details of this survey..but then those are given towards the middle. I like that the specifics of the survey were given so that we as readers know who exactly was questioned. I think the sources are good as well.

I like how the author speaks to the police and to civilians. The story is easy to read and the point is clear. I think it is good how the authors received two points of views- from police and civilians.

I think this is good overall, but one thing the author could have done differently is speak to Garrido's parole officer. There are many claims made by Shaw about what the parole officers could have done, but there is no response or voice of the parole officers defending themselves.

I think this is a good article because it is straight to the point, easy to read, and easy to understand the information that the author is trying to get across. What I think might make this a little better would be to quote some of those who are happy about this legislation and those who are not.

This author makes claims about how the doctors felt, without any interviews. It seems like the author did not talk to any of the doctors there and just put words in their mouths. The author makes many claims that are not backed up with evidence. This article is very opinionated and very one sided, offering the reader no choice to make a choice.

The thing that stood out to me about this article was the way it was written. It is hard to follow at points because of the sentence structure and where quotes are included. The author also makes claims about how other journalists would comment, and I dont think any journalist should make claims about how someone else would comment.

This is very newsworthy and it is good to know that Amazon may be doing this. While reading the story, I felt like to the author was convicting Amazon after only stating one response Amazon gave to someone other than the author. I think the author would have a stronger argument having contacted Amazon on their own.

I think the topic is one everyone should be concerned with. This is very newsworthy and relevant to the times. I would like to know where the author received the numbers on homicides though.

I think this story shows what many same sex couples have to go through. Although this isn't very news worthy (many might not care about this), I think it is well written and gets the point across clearly. This story makes me have sympathy for the boy who wrote for advice and didn't really get any.

I think this is quality journalism because it is relevant to issues that are important toady. Some of the gay activist have claimed Obama's administration defended the Defense of Marriage Act. I would like to know when they did this.

This author is very emotional about the topic of this story and makes some good points about the desire for some privacy by cross dressers. I believe his story comes from that of experience with this issue and therefor I believe he is credible. The emotion behind what he writes shows that he is involved with this issue. Many might not think this is important, but to the LGBT community, it is.

This is a good story because it is relevant to the times, and shows how a certain group can be discriminated against even in this poor economy. It is shocking to learn that someone would deny a couple the chance to purchase a home due to sexual orientation. The author referred to several sources and sighted them. She also also gives readers websites to reference if we choose to.

I like the idea of the story - exposing the idea that what we think we are getting may not actually be so. The author shows no evidence for what she claims, and although I would believe that some companys lie about their products, some sort of research or reference would be a great asset to this story. What I think is good about this story though is that the author raises the idea of deception and gives the name to a website that we can look at, as well as alerts readers to look at ... More »

This is quality journalism because it seems to be unbiased, stating facts and not opinion. The writer states where she found her facts, and even though the facts somewhat put blame on someone, the writer still uses words like alleged...which makes the point that what is being said is still truly unknown regardless of evidence. After reading this, I would like to know more about how many drugs she was being given by doctors.

I think that the story is well written and the idea is clear, but I would like to see where the writer got her facts from.
