LA Times,The Daytona News-Journal, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

In Copy editing we had to compare 3 newspapers that had similarities and differences within the front page headlines. With the help of Newseum, I decided to compare and contrast The LA Times, The Daytona News-Journal, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The LA Times headline was "A new movement in L.A?" It talks about teachers on strike against the city's education inequality. Another headline which read "Trump retreats as Pelosi delays State of Union" involves Trump seeking an alternative as the speaker refuses the address until the government reopens. Other headlines include "A scene stealer yes, but an Oscar thief?," Cohen delays hearing, citing threats," and "Trumps Venezuela gambit."



The Daytona News-Journal headline "Panhandling limits pass"talks about beggars and how they will be dealt with by the city of Daytona. Other headlines include "The Race for business," Pelosi disinvites Trump," and "Local donors help unpaid Coast Guardsman, TSA workers."






A few of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution headlines consist of "Poultry lab fixes could cost taxpayers $4M," and "Shutdown hits those on housing aid."Other headlines include "Five die in shooting in FLA. bank," Experts: game brings sex traffickers," and "Voice of dissent joins development board."

All of these major newspapers include the stories of the government shutdown as well as Nancy Pelosi wanting Trump to delay the State of the Union address. 

NFC Championship Game

The NFC championship game was played Sunday with kickoff starting at 3:05 p.m. ET involving the Los Angeles Rams and The New Orleans Saints. This highly anticipated game was going to determine who went to this year's Superbowl game. Preceding the game, Fox sports commentators gave their predictions on who they think will go on to the Superbowl as well as their views on a few of the key players from each team. Micheal Strahan's prediction was "the Saints and the Patriots." Sideline reporter Erin Andrews said "Micheal Thomas says he doesn't care who he faces.

The Saints started off good in the first quarter scoring 13 points from two field goals from Will Lutz and a Garrett Griffin 5 yard pass from Drew Brees. The Los Angeles Rams began to catch up and throw some points of their own on the board during the second quarter with a 36 yard field goal from Greg Zuerlein and a II 6 yard run from Todd Gurley. Fast forwarding to the 4th quarter, the game was tied 23-23 with only 15 seconds thus making the game go into OT.

The real highlight of this nerve wrecking game was the controversial no-call. Drew Brees had thrown a pass at WR TommyLee Lewis and although Lewis seemed to be positioned to catch the ball, Rams DB Nickell Robey-Coleman hauled into him and appeared to hit him with his helmet. Many spectators though this play should have penalized for pass interference, but the officials did not say a word. WLWT sports reporter Brandon Saho tweeted "This might be the worst no call in NFL history" while showing a replay of the no call on his twitter account.

I feel as thought the refs known what had happened between Lewis and Coleman, but decided to act like they were apart of the birdbox film and keep their blindfolds on. I think this would have also changed the outcome of the game as the LA Rams Advanced to the Superbowl with a 57 yard field goal from Greg Zuerlein. It is going to be a while before the controversy of this game dies down. Alvin Kamera routes were also highly praised throughout this game on social media.

The Rams will go on to face the NE Patriots at the Superbowl on February the 3rd and I predict that the NE Patriots will come out on top, but who knows? We just have to wait and see.
