Delegates switched to appease Ron Paul backers
This is actually a blog post I read by Joe Battenfeld on the Boston Herald website. I thought it would be cool to read something by a person I met... and it was! Reading Joe Battenfeld's piece was really interesting because I was kind of analyzing his piece using the advice he gave us on reporting politics. He followed all of his advice, which was good. His post was not opinionated at all and just gave the facts to the audience, which was something he was telling our class to do. He kept reiterating the idea that we shouldn't make our leads (or any part of our story really) too biased or else some readers may not finish reading your story. One major difference I noticed between this and a regular news story was that the blog post was very short, only a couple paragraphs, but those paragraphs were jam packed full of information.
