What's interesting?


Bobby Croft from Frostburg MD is a senior at Frostburg State University with a major in art & design.  Bobby explained that a news story that grabs his attention is the story of Koney 2012.  Joseph Koney is an alleged killer that leads rebels in Uganda and was caught on video which is now viral. Kroft said, “The government is being a blind eye while people are trying to bring light to the situation.”   As a Frostburg citizen and student Bobby said “The news never shows anything positive about us (Frostburg) it’s always about the partying.”  Bobby would like to see more positive feedback about the Frostburg campus and students.

The administrative assistant for chemistry, physics, and engineering is Wendy Miller.  Wendy took me to her office in the science building to tell what most current news story interests her. Wendy said, “Same sex marriage in Maryland.”  She went on to explain that this story is intriguing to her because her daughter has a partner.  Mrs. Miller continued to say that ever since the topic has been brought up in Maryland that she has been “glued to the tv.”   Wendy Miller believes that a news story that deserves more media is texting while driving in Maryland.   She says that people still text and that the law for it needs more reinforcement.

“They are just being stupid and debating about it. I don’t know why they would try to get contraceptives out of the country.”  That is what Frostburg’s sophomore Neil Ralph said when expressing what news story is most important to him.  He does not understand why they keep debating. Neil is from Olney Maryland and says that gay marriages deserve more coverage on the news because, “it applies to more people than they think.”
