omaha world herald

For my 239 class I have chosen to follow the Omaha World Herald newspaper's website. My thought on my hometown newspaper firstly is that it is a poor example of journalism. I can recall numerous times looking and criticizing the Omaha World Herald while in journalism classes in high school. The countless spelling and grammar errors. Sad attempts to make the most boring of topics into stories. The random and bizarre photos matched with front page headlines. While I doubt that this assignment of monitoring this newspaper will better my opinion, I am sure it will teach me what not to do.
