Blog Topic #3

This is actually blog topic #1 for Current Events.

Here we go:

1. Find 3 articles in the field of international news taken from NEWS SOURCES FROM OTHER NATIONS involving the United States. Summarize them. Post the URLs
2. Find 3 articles about the same events written from a US source. Summarize them. Post the URLs.
3. Finally, write a completely separate post comparing the style of writing. WHat is different about the articles? Are some articles more critical of the United States than others? What, specifically, do they say, if anything?

None of these articles may be about sports games, etc.

Post all of these on your blog in a blog topic titled: COMPARING U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL NEWS.

This will be a difficult project. Take your time and do it well.

Here are two websites to get you started:

CNN:

The London Times:

Paris Guardian: (not official newspaper, just talks about things in Paris)
