Thurday News

The picture on the front page brought my attention to the story immediately. People in Fresno, Calif. have been living in tents for the past 18 months because of the recession. Obama had a great quote that showed he cared about the problems in our country and he is doing his best to change it. Families with children have been living in these tents. Mexico has been in the paper everyday for the past week. Each story is a different angle of the bigger picture. Everyone is involved in drug trade scandal trying to put an end to it. Mexico officials and US officials have been working together to stop it but the demand for illegal drugs in the U.S. is influencing Mexico to keep up the drug trade.
An interesting study says that schools that are near fast food places are more likely to have obese students than schools that are more than a quarter of mile from fast food restaurants.
Other than the main news there were a lot of interesting topics. Journalists are doing a good job keeping the news interesting and readers intrigued.
