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?
1. The theme of our group was food. We selected it because everybody loves food. All of our articles were about food around Baruch, the United states, and around the world.
2. What was your individual role in the group process working on the NYT project?
2. My role was to write about food around the Baruch campus, so I took a different take and wrote about the food carts around Baruch because food carts are a great and cheap way to eat for struggling college students, such as myself.
3. How has your experience within this project influenced your understanding of “news literacy”?Provide a link to your NYT Front Page Project.
3. My experience within this project influenced my understanding of “news literacy” because I wasn’t really familiar with how newspapers formatted their covers and stories. This gave me a little bit of understanding on how it works which is especially great since I’m an aspiring writer. It also taught me to have a sense of urgency on keeping up with current events.
