This is not necessarily quality NEWS journalism, but by all of my standards this is just a really good read!

Member (since September 2009)In a nutshell, I am in my junior year of college, studying Audio Engineering and Journalism at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI. Along with my very full work load, I hold a leadership position in the EMU Marching Band. I have been participating with the group for three years now. Also, in my spare time, I am a performer, using my voice, guitar, and sometimes piano, at local coffee shops within the Detroit Metro area. To be honest, I joined NewsTrust because I am currently in a Journalism class that requires me to do 1 review every week until the end of the semester. So far, I've really enjoyed the interactivity of this site!

But to teenagers and 20-30-year-olds this is really old news. I don't feel like this article was necessary at all. It is somewhat relevant but only to a certain audience.
To be honest, it's a nice little coming-out-of-age story, but it isn't quality journalism. The article doesn't have much relevance to anything of news quality.
This is quality journalism because it exhibits the human interest and is definitely helpful to someone who reads a lot of health articles in the news. I learned a lot from this reading.
Yes - quality journalism includes anything that, as a citizen o the US, might affect us personally in the future.
This short article can definitely be considered quality journalism because it discusses the future of the economy in regards to more and more businesses closing, with more and more jobs being lost. The author simply asks, "where will the jobs of the future come from?"





I think this is a very interesting standpoint, even though is is obviously the road less traveled. Although, I don't like that the author compared ... More »
