For homework, please read about "straight journalism" (as opposed to "feature" or "opinion" writing or commentary, which a lot of you are interested in and which we have looked at in class thus far) here:

Find a piece of straight journalism that you feel displays these characteristics OR one that you notice violates these principles and bring it with you to class.
