Cell Phone Danger

This article on the Times website was appealing to me because i have heard so much controversy around it. The article was about cell phones transmitting radio waves that are harmful to the body. I didn't know this but every cell phone has a warning not to put it close to the body, and you should have a holster so it's not close to the skin. This worries me a little! The thing i really liked about this webpage and the article was that each paragraph was broken up into subheads, and under each paragraph was a link to whatever they were talking about. If he gave an example of the i-phones warnings, there was a link to see exactly what it was. This is great because it makes the reporter more credible in my eyes if he can back up what he's writing about and has proven facts that he can show. I really liked how at the top of the article i could see how many people commented on facebook and twitter so i know how popular the story is. It's very well organized.

Forced Abortions?!

This story really tugged on my emotional heart strings. I read the original article about forced abortions in china on newser.com, but then there was a seperate link to this womans personal story. The poor thing was forced to have an abortion as they would call it, but the most disturbing thing is that she was 8 months pregnant at the time. To me, that's not abortion that's killing an innocent baby who's fully developed. The mother had no option to keep the baby because of their one child policy, and the fact that the website posted a video so the reader could actually see her and her husbands reaction was truly heartbreaking. This link was very beneficial because the reader not only gets the personal aspect of the story, but there are other links, pictures and video clips that make it very interactive. I like how the site is set up. It's very easy to navigate.
