Current Event
Closer to the due date I will select an ongoing story that I'd like you to follow via the online coverage. We will take a look at how the local coverage differs from the national (or, depending on the story, perhaps international) coverage.
The current event: An arrest of a St. Peter's College (Jersey City, N.J.) student. The campus went into lockdown mode after a threatening note surfaced. Look up the coverage of this event (which has developed since it first broke on Wednesday). Use Google News (news.google.com) or the library's Lexis-Nexis database in order to find recent news articles.

- One "breaking news" version of the story.
- One local story (written with an angle that focuses on the region and its inhabitants).
- One national story (written with an angle that focuses on recent campus incidents, or on the recent media coverage of such incidents).
