I think that the Time article was immersive to the perfect extent. The story pushed the boundaries of journalism by proving the capabilities of storytelling through a digital aspect that I hadn't seen used previously. #Larson2000

Ted Conover's immersion was interesting. He told such specific details told to him by the inmates during his time in Sing Sing. I think that his point on hearing the truth towards the end was a valuable takeaway from his experience as a CO. #Discuss2401

The lunch shaming article was depressing. Students are not the ones in control of their parents income, yet, they are the ones being punished for it. There has to be a better way than shaming the students and their family for struggling to make ends meet. #Discuss2401

I liked the infographic that the Times article provided so that you could see the impact the Vaping Illness Tracker had across the US. However, I think that it should have been put higher in the article. #Larson2000

I distinctly remember Sam getting drafted in 2014. Sam challenged the idea of NFL players having to fit a certain stereotype to be in the league. However, I find it disheartening to see the lack of progress being made in regards to gay male athletes. #Discuss2401

I think that the article on the South African protests was eye-opening. When I think of the term "refugee" I inherently assume that it involves the US. It seems as if refugees are treated poorly worldwide. #Discuss2401

I think that the Times article did well in painting a narrative that made for an interesting read. I also thought the historical examples it provided were powerful. While it was an opinion piece, it still provided information on the absurd comparison that took place. #Larson2000

I had seen the Vice video previously and it was no less disturbing on my second watch. It makes you question whether certain people should have a platform to promote hate. Vice proves that awful people exist, who truly live by the nonsense they preach #Discuss2401

I think the article had a clever headline and solid lead that made her situation and the composure she displayed within it powerful. I think they did well at addressing the assassination talk later on after giving some background. #Larson2000

The Root article is confusing in many ways. I understand that he is white and therefore the connotation around the situation changes dramatically. Yet, he was basically attacked by the author for making a statement that I thought was in support of the black community #Discuss2401

I think the Teaching Tolerance article helped me to think through a new lens. I had never taken intersectionslity into account when referring to athletes after a great achievement. There is a double standard present in what is acceptable as an intersectional athlete. #Discuss2401

It’s super interesting to look at statistics regarding marginalized groups in the Newsweek article. If the media represents them with negative language, what influence does that have on readers? #Discuss2401

It seems like the NBC article is more of a press release stating the basics of the case while the Times and Complex articles offer more of a story. They provide a lot of quotes and details. NBC is just scraping the surface. #Larson2000

I think the FAIR article did a good job at providing a double standard in media coverage. Why should media determine whether a term is deemed less threatening for specific movements over others? #Discuss2401

I think that it is interesting to bring THC vape products into question along with e-cigarettes like Juul. I think that there is more of an epidemic surrounding Juul addiction as compared to THC. I think the Times and Business Insider articles represent that well. #Larson2000

The New York Times article did well with addressing the emotional impact of the event. With quotes coming from the crew during and after three event as well as bystanders, they did a good job with describing the tragedy through the sheer emotion of the event. #Larson2000
