The first article I read this week was “Students feel impacts of increasing rent, low apartment inventory in Boston” by Grace MacDonald (https://thesuffolkjournal.com/42889/news/students-feel-impacts-of-increasing-rent-low-apartment-inventory-in-boston/). This article is about students who are having a hard time finding housing in Boston. Suffolk only provides housing for the first two years of a student’s attendance at the University, meaning that after this, they are all on their own. The author provides a couple of student interviews, giving the reader a real glimpse into the struggles that these students are dealing with. Students in the interviews also provide advice to others who are having the same issue, which is very helpful to other Boston students.
The second article that I chose for this week was “66th Grammy Awards breaks records and warm hearts” by Brooklyn Leighton (https://thesuffolkjournal.com/42837/ac/music/66th-grammy-awards-breaks-records-and-warm-hearts/). This article gives the reader a run-down of the winners of this year’s Grammys. Leighton goes through each category, also touching on records broken this year by Taylor Swift. I thought that the article was missing the promised “heartwarming” information, as none of the information shared was particularly emotional. The article gave an informative summary useful to any music fans, but no touching moments.
