One thing you need to be comfortable doing, especially after taking a class like this, is to look at the stories in the news with your new objective knowledge. Be critical in how the information is presented and what the actual facts are that are used to build the story. We would like to think the journalists always make sure to check all the facts and related data, but like everyone else, they are often under deadlines and cant do all the research. Your task is to use your new knowledge to assess a local issue. Follow the directions below. *30 points total*
