I do think this is good journalism simply because it speaks about a topic that is extremely relevant and important in today's world. On the other hand it seems very single sided and does not exactly give an answer to what everyone should do. It states that mammograms are not as helpful as anyone thinks and in many ways tries to make them out as bad things but at the same time it states they are still reducing the death rate so I don't see how that can be a bad thing; even if it isn't as effective as we think. The story asks a lot of questions and give few answers which was somewhat of a turn off from the story for me.
