New York Times Reading Log - Monday October 31, 2011

Happy Halloween! Or happy snow fall? The New York Times had intreguing first page stories in todays paper. The story regarding the winter storm that most of the East Coast experienced this weekend definitely caught my attention, mostly because it has had an impact on me. The article stated that 280,000 New Hampshire residents are without power still from the storms damage, and I am part of that number. The article had some really great insight about the storm that I was unaware of, such as how it has already caused 9 deaths. It was said that one 20 year old man got electricuted, which to me seemed like the most important part of the story. The story however, focused mostly on how Halloween festivites were cancelled. Although it gave me insight to what happened with the first storm of "winter," I wonder where their information came from since most went unquoted. This is a prime example of what he discussed in class - the signifcance of giving recognition to all of your sources in our weekly stories.
