I agree with y...This was a very nice post to read.<br /><br />I agree with you that it was a bit strange in the first article to see that there was little mention about the event of the assassination, especially since it was written shortly after his death. It is a wonder why the reporter chose the approach he did by only getting quotes from the people he did, versus the people he didn’t get necessary information from that the public would have likely wanted to be informed about.<br /><br />I also find it interesting that the second article also has little mentioned of the assassination event, since it is in fact a story about the possibilities of who could have killed King in such a way. I do have a question about the second article you mention, though: what inmate do you speak of?<br /><br />It is definitely odd that these articles lacked so much information, but in a way it is kind of nice to see that someone brought them to light in this blog assignment. It somewhat shows the other side of the ways of reporting during the civil rights movement.Kelsey Avershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720155239946042235noreply@blogger.com
