Of the three issues i have covered, I decided to chose an international issue, an issue dealing with the supreme court, and a national issue that has some impact on our culture. On t he issue of Ebola, all of the newspapers i chose had a neutral response. This is most likely because the Ebola virus is not anywhere close to the areas that any of the newspapers cover and Ebola does not affect any of their reade rs personally. When it comes to the issue of Ferguson, newspapers who have a lot of racial te nsion (Baltimore, Des Moines) have taken a more neutral lead to the story of the police chief apologizing to the victim's family. There aim in doing this is to try and not create any more racial tension in their respective areas. The major newspapers ( LA Times, The Washington Post) have taken a critical take on the situatio n by pointing out the time that has passed from the incident to the apology. The third issue is a national controversy with multiple areas having separate opinions. With Gay marriage, more rural areas have been opposed to it, while more urban areas have been leading the charge for gay marriage. Des Moines kept a neutral lead, not trying to upset it's readers, while the more urban newspapers all wrote about how this marks the beginning of the end for states without gay marriage. Big market newspapers tend to take m ore of a liberal route with their leads while smal ler newspapers tend to make their leads more critical or neutral depending on the opinions of their readers.
