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. 
  1. One "breaking news" version of the story.
  2. One local story (written with an angle that focuses on the region and its inhabitants).
  3. One national story (written with an angle that focuses on recent campus incidents, or on the recent media coverage of such  incidents).
On your blog, post a brief informal analysis that quotes from and links to all three articles. Conclude your analysis with a brief statement about The Setonian's possible role in dealing with an emergency event on campus.
