Married couples overseas on Iraq can now live together, an article in The Tennessean reported.
Instead of sleeping in different quarters, married soldiers call “Couples Row” in Camp Striker on the outskirts of Baghdad home.
The article was a rollercoaster ride for me, in that one paragraph would be well equipped with information or a good quote on this new situation for soldiers in Iraq, but the very next would fall short in providing necessary facts to create a well-rounded article.
Two main newspapers from Minneapolis covered the same story involving a Buffalo, Minn. man who was kidnapped 16 months ago in Iraq. The Pioneer Press and the Star Tribune both released stories today announcing that a Minnesota man, Paul Johnson-Reuben, is confirmed dead after his remains were found and identified after almost a year and a half of waiting to hear if he was still alive.
After reading both newspaper's coverage of the story, I was surprised at how different the coverage was. These two different stories remind me how much of a difference one single source or subject of an interview can make.
