5.    Would you share this?  Why or why not?
·      I would not share this. The headline reads “ITS OFFICIAL”, but the article does not make it seem that way. The article is difficult to read and hard to tell what is actually going on.




6.    But you really, really want to share this post.  What can you do?

·     However, if I did want to share this post I would try to research similar articles so I can have a more clear understanding of what is going on. Then I could possibly explain that in my post. 






1.    Where did you first see it?

    While commonly done, capitalizing entire words to show emphasis is wrong. I understand why it's done, but it's still wrong. You also missed answering one question on your second example.

Newswriting 4

In November 2018, President Donald Trump and the White House revoked CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s hard pass. He was no longer allowed to enter the white house and attend press conferences. This suspiciously occurred right after the president and Acosta had a tense press conference earlier. Trump has been known to criticize reporters and their networks.

I think it is really hard to find genuine opinions these days for underlying reasons, and I think it is wrong to deceit people.              Be kind, especially to strangers:             Being kind is a simple yet important code in my morals. It sounds very simple, but it can be difficult once you’ve been ha...
