The main goal of this story is to inform the audience that Governor O'Malley visited an elementary school. There's very little about the fight to end hunger. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing because the purpose of this news article is to inform people on the actual event of a Governor meeting with schoolkids. However, I think questions on childhood hunger in Maryland could easily have been raised while reading this and the writer didn't really do anything to answer those questions.

Great observation about what the piece fails to ask. After posting this and your other stories, do you get the sense that anyone is asking these questions in our region?
