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 my group selected for our front page was Sports; we selected it because we are red blooded American males who love watching sports. The articles I selected fit into our theme because the Giants are an American Football team based in New York City. Also Collegiate Athletics are a billion dollar industry in the United States and its players deserve to be paid.
2. What was your individual role in the group process working on the NYT project?
My role was the administrator who had to setup our website for the blog. I also had to add our group members to the blog so that they could post their articles. I also assisted one of my team members in posting their articles.
3. How has your experience within this project influenced your understanding of “news literacy”?
This project has influenced my understanding of “news literacy” because it has given me insight to how important it is to stay informed about local stories and issues which can have an impact on you and your environment.
