Clinton speaks-National

Hilary Clinton spoke in Marshalltown Iowa, Saturday, and told everyone what she would do if she was elected.

Central Iowa's Times-Republican gave a general overview of what Clinton said she would do if she were in office. The headline focused on withdrawing troops from the Iraq war, but the rest of the article talked about healthcare and immigration. Although immigration and the Bush administration were mentioned in the Washington Post much of the article was about Clinton using her husband to better the image of America. Actually they spent nearly half the article talking about this subject. I think the difference was who the news was created by and going to. The central Iowa paper was near where her speech was. It included general information about the event, actually the article was put under their local news section. But the Washington Post is not treating this speech as an event, but is looking more for new information. Actually the Times Republican did not mention Bill Clinton at all. I think this came out of how the two papers viewed this event based on their readership.
