        <![CDATA[<p>I chose to analyze the article "Dodgers, Hyun-jin Ryu agree to contract," written by Mark Saxon. </p>

<p>The reporter used the numbers of Ryu's contract and broke them down by year. The article deals with his posting fee, which is the money the team spent to be able to negotiate a contract, and then it talks about his current contract and clauses in it.</p>

<p>It doesn't seem like the reporter requires a lot of computer skills to do this reporting. I'm not sure that that would have been appropriate for this article anyways. I think that the way the <br />
reporter uses the data in this article is sufficient.</p>

<p>Similarly, it doesn't seem like the writer used any interactive graphics to engage the reader. I think that they should have used a graphic which documents how much money the Dodgers have tied up to starting pitchers right now because that would show readers what this deal really means.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>This article is from Nov. 9 when David Petraeus resigned as the CIA director.</p>

<p>I thought that the reporters did a good job moving past just what they got from Petraeus. The article was more well-rounded because they did a lot of additional reporting.</p>

<p>For example, the reporters were not going to have access to Paula Broadwell. It seems that they did extensive research into her past to make up for that. They went back and found old interviews so people could get a sense of her. By doing this additional research, they gave readers a personality behind a name.</p>

<p>I think they also did a good job explaining the magnitude of the situation. They provided a lot of background information into who Petraeus is and why he is important. Without this information, people would not understand why his resignation is so impactful. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I chose to analyze "<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/19/world/middleeast/an-outgunned-hamas-tries-to-leverage-rise-of-islamists-in-region.html?hp">An outgunned Hamas tries to tap Islamists' growing clout</a>," which was written by David D. Kirkpatrick and Mayy El Sheikh and appeared on the New York Times website. </p>

<p>I don't think that the story is stereotypical; I think it is more grounded in fact. It said that Hamas turned to Egypt's new government because they are "ideological allies." I think some may perceive that to be stereotypical, but I think it moves beyond that because there is truth to the statement. It's not just saying that because they practice the same religion, they feel the same way. </p>

<p>The journalists used numerous sources, although not all of them were talking about the cultural aspect of Hamas. They used a quote from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Reda Fahmy, member of Egypt's Parliament, Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas official, Dan Meridor, the Israeli intelligence minister, United States President Barack Obama and Egypt President Mohamed Morsi.</p>

<p>Marzouk was probably the best source in terms of the cultural aspect, because he talked about the position of Islamists in the region. He said that that Islamists in the region would side with Hamas. That quote gives readers a better sense of the culture because it tells readers where their political ideologies lie.</p>]]>

<p>Clayton Aldern, who hails from Cedar, Minn., is a neuroscience major at Brown University and Georgianna Whiteley, from Wayzata, Minn. is a chemistry major at Luther College.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.rhodesscholar.org/">According to the Rhodes Trust website</a>, scholars are chosen "not only for their outstanding scholarly achievements, but for their character, commitment to others and to the common good, and for their potential for leadership in whatever domains their careers may lead."</p>

<p>The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities has had seven Rhodes Scholars since 2001, according to<a href="http://www1.umn.edu/news/news-releases/2010/UR_CONTENT_277845.html"> a release on the school's website.</a></p>]]>
