Coverage spotlight: ACC coverage

I like the way this article was written. The main focus of the article was to educate readers on why this particular division in college football is looking a lot more different in the past years. The journalist is able to put opinion aside and use factual evidence to show that the teams that used to be decent, are now winning th division.
As a big college football fan I love to see a writer get excited about football. He writes a solid, fundamental article, but at the same time he is very passionate about what he is writing. The shift of power in a division is a very interesting thing, and the journalist is able to show what's going on informatively, while showing a lot of energy. It's that balance of raw enthusiasm and professionalism that make this article great.

Coverage spotlight: Vanessa Hudgens

I think that the media coverage of this particular topic was good and bad. It could have been better if they had researched the possible fall-out of nude pictures being released. As a reader I would like to hear quotes from as many people as possible to see where the future of this young actress is headed. It would have been better to have included quotes from Disney, to see where they stand on the issue.

One of the things about the article that I did appreciate was that they opted out of showing the actual photo that surfaced. For most people, after they read an article like this they want to see the photo. CNN, as well as a number of other media outlets decided not to show the photo or even give a link for the photo. This shows class on the part of CNN.
