New Zealand News Articles

Each day, newspaper editors make desisions everyday about which current event stories they will run.  We explored that different types of current events that are happening in NZ, thought about why the story made the news and plotted the location on a google map. We were creating a Map DLO that shows differet types of Articles that happend in New Zealand. The types of articles we were to find were Timeliness, Relevance, Magnitude, Unexpectedness, Impact, Reference to someone iportant or famous, Oddity, Conflict, Reference to something negative, Continuity, Emotions and Progress. The most shocking one I found was the measles outbreak with more that 1,000 people affected. My Group (Matthew, Karlos and I) found 7 news articles that took place in New Zealand. The most unusual one I found was that Russia Accidently replaced New Zealand With Japan on their news channel. Our Task was to find current events that were happening or that happened in New Zealand so that we could grow our knowledge about what has been happening or what has happened in New Zealand.
