New York Times Project Q&A

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 group’s New York Times Project was Medicinal Treatments after discussing the general interest of the four members, we all collectively agreed to focus our articles with the topic in mind. The article I selected fit within the theme since holistic medicine is an underrated approach to a human’s wellness and apparently has principles that would also benefit the world economy.
2. What was your individual role in the group process working on the NYT project?
     The individual role I took on working on the New York Times project was to find an article relating back to our topic on an international level.
3. How has your experience within this project influenced your understanding of “news literacy”?
     My experience working within this project has influenced my understanding of “news literacy” since I’ve realized the New York Times slogan “All the News That’s Fit to Print” may contribute to there being almost no articles on an alternative to traditional medicine on an international scope expect one that was released on October 22nd, 2013 discussing how people now rely on international countries as a way of obtaining necessary prescriptions due to the outrageous costs in the United States.
