Colby College Students Abused
This video looks like it was taken on someone's phone or maybe a small digital camera and was taken by someone involved in all of the ruckus. There is a story attached that explains what was going on. It is clear it is written by a student who was involved and is very protective of the students who were being arrested.
This does make for an interesting news story. Most students at Colby would be very interested in it. It is a good news piece but if I were a CNN producer it would most likely only air if it was a real slow news day or I was going after a college audience.
I am sure that anyone in our class could do the same thing, most likely better than this is.

The Dog ate it
This is not news. This is some guy with to much time on his hands making a video. It is his view on things and it is kind of funny, but its not news. THere is no way this would air on CNN. Once again I am sure that anybody could do the same thing and it would most likely be better.

Tax time
This slide show is kind of news. Not really however. It is a clever way of reminding people to do their taxes and giving this person's thought on the 'Taxman', it is clever and creative. However it would not be a good choice to run on CNN. THey also ran out of pictures and just used the same ones over and over again, kind of lame. Nice try though. It is well done, but I am sure that some people could do it better.
