I have selected to compare a story written by the New York Times about a meeting Obama held about healthcare. I found the agenda on the website of the White House.
The story I found is one that covers what they think will be said at the meeting, more so than what happened at it. They talked about what the concerns with healthcare are, and what each party will be pushing for.
They touched on concerns the republicans will have with the Democratic-friendly bill before them, and what will happen if they can't reach a concensus.
I chose this story because I thought it was almost more interesting to see a story anticipating what will happen at a meeting than one written after it. It seems to target pepole that are really interested in what is coming up, so much so that they can't wait.
This story covers in-depth analysis of what other sources have also said, and further analyzes what could happen as a result of the meeting.
After looking at what the agenda of the meeting was, the report in the Times was highly accurate. It doesn't say whether they received knowledge about the agenda before writing the story, but more so it seems that they had enough information to go off to be able to make a prediction.
