The theme that my group selected for the NY Times Article was food. We selected food because it was pretty general, and you can never go wrong talking about food! In addition, it is interesting to see how the general public feels about various types of food. We did articles on the international, national, local, and Bear Cat news/post. It tied in perfectly with our theme because we got to read/write about different foods from different places. I read and wrote the local news post about the Unami Burger. I preferred doing the local news because I don’t know of a lot of new places to eat at. There is always a hype in the different types of food and in our case- cronuts and Unami Burgers, and it’s fun to try new food. This assignment has not exactly taught me news literacy, although I wish I could read the news daily and become more informed. From this assignment, I did learn to use my resources in order to find relevant news articles pertaining to food.
