Research Scenario, part 2
The reporter used lots of sources throughout the article. He used lots of interviews with people like Linda Anderson, a person who works for APS, the site where the teachers got the PowerPoint, Matt Cardoza, a person from the Georgia Department of Education, and Timothy Guiney, the prinicipal of the school. The reporter also used a document, the PowerPoint, which I find to be most reliable because it is a primary source. I feel like the reporter did a good job with the story, but I didn't think that this was such a big deal. In my opinion, this was only a big story for the people within the school district. I don't think it needed to go beyond the county that this took place.
Fair enough. The reporter loved science and was trying to suggest that this one incident and the lack of furor over it was an example of a larger lack of concern for science education. If you don't buy that premise, the latter half of the article would not work for you. There are some unique sources though that you don't mention. The email message obtained through an open records request and the website identified by a reverse Google search show some pretty enterprising reporting. 98.
