Analyzing a News Story

When you read the news, are you considering the source who responsible for the content, the audience they are attempting to reach, and the motivation behind the story? Practice reading critically by diving into these stories. (You may be asked to sign up for a free account before gaining access to the story.)
Keep that story in mind as you continue to a complimentary story about a similar topic.
