This article tells the story of a recent forum which was held to gather student opinions on arming the Suffolk Police. The author does a good job of telling who is there, giving first and last names and their positions. Lots of quotes are given, both from students and faculty, giving both sides of the argument. The author does a good job highlighting the seriousness of this issue, and giving a good timeline of the meeting that allows the reader to get a good idea of what took place.
The second article I decided to read was “Suffolk Debate brings national recognition back to Boston” by Julia Capraro. The article tells the story of the victory of the Suffolk debate team after 32 years of hiatus. It includes a few interviews with students on the team, as well as with the faculty advisor. It contains a large amount of background information, and I would’ve liked to hear a bit more about the actual competition. I think that the story of the actual competition could be a really interesting story.
