Opinion Editorial Example - on January 9th, 2009

Choose a recent opinion editorial. Post a link, include pictures--whatever will help us get the gist of the editorial in a short amount of time without necessarily having to read the entire editorial. Then write a paragraph exploring some of the following:

-Why is it important that this issue is being argued?
-Who is the specific audience of the opinion editorial? (It's not going to be general readers of the newspaper--it's going to be people who can make a change. For example, maybe it's to dog owners in Mississippi who aren't taking care of their dogs properly.)
-Why is this issue important to the audience? What change can they make if they are convinced by the argument?
-What is an issue that is important to you? What did you learn from this opinion editorial that you would be able to use in arguing about your issue?
