I think it is a good example of good journalism. There are several voices and statistics shown that help provide a deeper look into the story. My only problem is the use of the word the middle east. Being that I am not from Baltimore I did not understand that they were talking about East Baltimore.

I would have like to see some statistics on how many people actually are illegal immigrants working at Martha’s Vineyard. I would also like to see more sources and quotes in the story. The headline is a bit misleading although it draws the reader in. I would like to see information from both sides. Also word choice is very important, be unbiased, good journalism is unbiased. On the plus side, I did not know that there were racial tensions on Martha’s Vineyard so that was enterprising.

The statistics used help paint a clear picture of economically how big a deal Valentine’s Day is. I like that I was given background information and a reason to why buying flowers with "VeriFlora" certification is important instead of just stating that I should. The article is well written and I found it very interesting, I had no idea of how many issues surrounded Valentine’s Day but now I know. Good Article. .

This is defiantly an example of good journalism. The article is well written and unbiased. There are statistics and a bunch of quotes which is always a plus! In addition the information surrounding jobs and government spending in the article directly affect me being that I am a college student seeking to enter the workforce soon. Overall this was a great article!
