Exercise 1- recognizing news

The criteria of news
Relevance
Usefulness
Interest 

Cars collide outside of Pullman.
I believe my story relates to the audience which would be Colfax and Pullman because it happened outside of Pullman. It is very important because people worry about car crashes all the time traveling to and from this area.  This information will help them act because people will be more cautious of their acts. When a car accident occurs anywhere I feel that people react, and act upon those circumstances. Yes, I believe this information should be cared about because thankfully no one got hurt; however, injuries still occurred. I think everyone feels bad if they see or hear of an accident that happened somewhere especially if it is near the city they are at.

Zzusis is not nearly as cool as Zeus
This information is greatly important to the audience because the student body is the audience, and no matter what payment you choose whether it is to pay out of your pocket or student loans students are still affected by this change. The information about this news is very important. I had no idea but just on Zzusis they have access to your Social Security number, and bank account. It will help everyone if we find some kind of security notice that will help us be more protected. Students and parents should care about this information because no one wants their identity stolen, or money.

The downfall of the WSU budget
This information again is important to the students of Pullman, and the parents due to the fact that tuition is getting higher and higher each year. There have been many times where students have not been able to attend WSU because of the budget increase, and because Zzusis has not distributed the money on time. This information will help students act by saving up money over summer and or apply for more loans and grants. They should care about it because if the tuition is going up there has to be a breaking point where students say enough is enough. I know as a senior that if it went up any higher I would not be able to attend WSU.
