1. What was the “theme” your group selected for your front page, and how did you select it? How did the articles you selected fit within that theme?
The theme of our front page was food. We selected it because it is a topic that is very relevant and the New York Times has its own Dining section. We all chose articles from the required categories that somehow revolved around food.
2. What was your individual role in the group process working on the NYT project?
My task in the group process was to summarize an article about food in New York City. I chose the article about Balthazar as it was only published a few days ago and it is one of New York’s most famous restaurants.
3. How has your experience within this project influenced your understanding of “news literacy”?
This experience has taught me that reading the news is not only important but it has many interesting topics for almost anyone.
