The New York Times project topic that my group and I chose was transportation. The reason why we chose this topic is because it has a lot of variations and articles to cover on the newspaper itself, (e.g.- airplane accidents, train accidents, ships, etc.) Another reason why we chose this topic was because it is relevant to almost everyone in the class; they all have to commute to school and most of the class have a rather long commute ranging from 30 plus minutes every school day. The last reason why we chose transportation was because it would be easier to make the article that was related to Baruch on it; there was a signal problem with the subway at DeKalb Ave which caused a lot of students in the class to be late that morning. These are the reasons why we chose transportation as our topic.
