Mom was right brussel sprouts are good for you

One of the strengths of the good-for-you, brussel sprouts journalism is it’s ability to shift the attention of readers from gossip news to news that has a direct impact on them and their community.  This type of journalism shifts the scope of the news from broad to narrow and it gets people more involved with things such as local politics.The coverage of this trend is is a little poor.  I dont think a strong enough arguement was made for the trend.  There was also little if any information given about who else is following this trend other than these journalist.  I think Mr. Carr focuses only one aspect of this problem and he doesn’t explain how this problem is afecting the rest of the nation.  This article is too specific to provide insight on the matter.  There are no references to how this problem is affecting other states and there is no mention of other journalist who are trying to solve this issue as well.  he writer shows a bias by presenting only a small portion of a large story.  It doesn’t seem like there was much outside information used to support the fact that there is a problem with the Media.  The lack of supporting information and the decision to only use quotes from one side if the conflict causes there to be a bias in this story.
