Giuliani Steps Closer to a Run in 2008
In the New York Times article for the race to presidency for Mr. Giuliani the main idea was always on track. The focus was always on Giuliani running for president of the United States but first wining the republican nomination to the white house. The NYT was very professional in explaining the who, when, why, where, what and the how.
The story chronological setting gave the reader a great understanding of what the real issue was, which is the filing for the presidency. It makes a good point in comparing not only Hilary Clinton but also other Republican candidates such as John McCain and Mitt Romney. It read as if it didn’t have any bias towards any other republican nominees or democrats.
'RUNNIN' MATES' JUDI 'N' RUDY AIM FOR '08
In the New York Post the article on Giuliani was more about the wife of Rudy Giuliani, than about him or his cadency to the presidency. The article takes a twist from his political ambition and what he is trying to accomplish to how his wife feels about him. It goes on to talk about his habits and health and not about the political arena. This article does touch on the election of 2008 but it goes to narrate his wife’s thoughts on it and about what she thinks of her husband. It took al credibility as a political article or the little news that it had. It was an article made for some woman magazine talking about a woman’s husband and how a wife feels about her husband.
Name juggling creates sticky Web for Giuliani
The Daily News took a completely different approached to the story as it wrote about a kid who registered the name of Giuliani. This teenager has obtain and registered the name and has the website showing some type of profanity on it. It moved away from the issue of the election of the presidency in 08 completely. This article was not news and it only was a tabloid story for the gossip section of some type of magazine. It read as it ridicule Giuliani and his staff more than it spoke about the election process and what was at stake to get to the white house. The New York Times was the only paper that did cover the story on Giuliani’s bid for the presidency. They presented and educate argument and represented the facts rather well, it was an informative read for an educated reader who is looking for the news.

Welby: This isn't bad for a first try. There are some minor editing things, word choice, spellings etc., but we'll deal with that later. Let's talk about the bigger things.
You did a good job of contrasting how each newspaper approached the Giuliani for president story. The New York Times covered the story, i.e. it did not seek to manipulate emotions. The Daily News and The Post were the opposite. Each presented their stories as if they were on Rudy's run, when each was really about something else.
You picked up on that. But what I would like you to do is give more detailed examples of how each executed their stories. For example, instead of just saying The Post talked to Judy about Rudy's run, give some examples of what she said and how that affected your view of the newspaper and its story. Do the same with The Times and Daily News.
That allows your reader to figure out how to respond to your comments. Also, make sure you put the headline of the story you read, the page number and the date of the edition in your blog, i.e. (The Judy and Rudy Show, p. 6-7, The New York Post, 2/06/2007.)
We'll talk more about this in class.
