Tuesday and Wednesday News

Tuesday's news was filled with a lot of information about violence in other countries. It was not very pleasant to read. However, I found a very interesting story about colleges today. Colleges are now choosing students who can pay the tuition fully over students who can't. The writer who got this story is very good because I know it was hard to find that information and facts about it. At the same time it is sad because it just proves how the economy if affecting businesses more. Having this information out there is very informative but also discourages students because now they are not sure if they can rely on grades to get them accepted. A perfect news story would be to investigate if UNH has been struggling to the point where they could accept wealthy students over middle class.
Wednesday news was very interesting. I found a lot of potential news stories from the articles in the paper. Tobacco companies are changing their product and limiting number being sold. I think this is a great idea because it is reducing the use of tobacco which can save lives of people who smoke. They are also considering changing the age to purchase it. More on affects with the economy, boat owners have been leaving their boats in random waters so they won't have to pay to keep them up anymore. I really hope the economy gets better soon because it is affecting every single person in America in some way. On the bright side there are many opportunities for news stories.
