Freep.com

1. The news reports getting the most coverage is the Grant murder trial and Comerica leaving. These stories are understandably getting the most coverage because, in my opinion, they effect the community the most. Not that the other stories are not a big deal, but these two individual stories spark the most talk and the most debate in the area.

2. On the main page of Freep.com, they cover a little bit of everything. They cover national news, local news, sports, and entertainment. I think its really good that they feature a little bit of everything so anyone visiting the site can browse around and read something from every subject. Freep.com seems to really state the facts about each article.

3. When going into the Wayne county section, one article that stands out to me is "Township cant condem old bridge". The article is about condeming the old toll bridge that leads to Grosse Ile. I think this article is really interesting because it effects both myself and people I know. Another interesting story is "Canton woman lived with corpse for three weeks". Apparently a 29 year old woman lived with a 19 year old corpse for a few weeks. I find these types of articles interesting because they're so odd.

4. I havent really decided what I want to write about yet. I think the toll bridge article is interesting so I might use that, depending on how much information I can find on it. I also found something about Detroit auctioning off 260 homes. Thats kind of interesting so maybe I can do something with that. I live in the downriver area and looking at the articles on freep.com, there really isnt much going on at all. Theres a pet of the week and something about a guy who doesnt like ghost towns, so I dont know. Im definately going to have to research a lot more and try to find something interesting in my area.
