Another boring day for the paper, however there were two stories that stuck out to me. The article on the front page about the website Topix was very powerful. My home town went through something similar with a website called Formspring. While it was less dramatic, I know what websites like Topix and Formspring are capable of, and it's infuriating to see how despicable some people can be. I thought that the very last paragraph was incredible, and really struck and emotional chord for the readers.
The other story I thought was interesting was the main story on the business page about young workers losing their jobs. I actually thought that the story was terrifying. Reading articles like that makes me worry about the challenges me and my friends face in the future for finding a job, especially as an aspiring journalist. The journalism world is a tough place to find a solid first job; I just hope I can keep a job for more than year. This story also had an amazing concluding quote. It showed that even in tough times people can find at least a little relaxation, but it also showed how people have such little time for themselves anymore. It really shows how hard the economy is hitting people.
