News Story Assignment

Andrew Betz, a sophmore whom is currently undecided for his major, believes Kony 2012 is currently the most interesting and controversial news story. He has read briefly about the subject online and in newspapers but says "Taking him down would be the right thing to do even though there is no money to be made and it doesnt seem like it would take alot to bring the douche down". In agreement with Andrew, Mark Bergstrom, a graduate student in the Business department, also finds Kony 2012 to be the top news story. "I heard about it from someone else and it's crazy. That guy is crazy."

Both guys disagreed on which news story they would like to hear more about; Mark deciding on President Obama and the facets in which he is lacking and Andrew wanting more coverage on the "Mustached Americans" bill. "It's completely ridiculous but equally awesome."

On the complete other end of the spectrum, Kelly (last name and other information withheld upon the request of the interviewee), stated "I read a story this morning about soldiers killing a bunch of people in the Middle East. I thought that was kind of interesting. It's probably not 'under-reported' but  it is something I would definitely read more about."

Lindsey, find a third interviewee who actually will give you a full name, etc., and delete the one who won't.

You also should look up and identify "Kony 2012" and the "Mustached Americans" bill so that you can explain to the readers what they are.
