This is about a student body worried about the censoring or “reviewing” of their paper by school officials. The administration argues that they are only fixing some errors and editing some innapropriate material but the students say that they are portraying the school as an ideal environment where everything is perfect while ignoring the faults that it (like every other school) has.
There is not enough portrayal on the part of the administration. It seems biased towards the students. The author keeps talking about how the student argue and doesn’t spend enough time witht he administration.

I fell like this artical is one sided; mostly towards the staff at the school. I think that the student were not well represented. The students are angry because their newspaper got canned because of its artical were too racy. The artical is writen by expaining a problem and follow it with a quote.

Explain the content of this article: Who is arguing over what and what was the result?the result was that the newspaper was terminated. many people were “arguing” better said as proresting or staging their opinon on the newspapers existance
Explain the reporting of this article: Are all sides fairly represented and can you detect a bias on the part of the author?um yeah i guess it was fairly represented but the quotes on the supporting the newspaper out weighed the negativity towards the newspaper
Explain the writing of this article: How is it structured, how does the lead match the story, and how does the style match the content?

Ooops! I forgot about the last one.
It’s in the wineglass structure and the lead introduces what was censored in the news paper and agrees that it doesn’t cross any lines. The style strikes me an kind of informal and nothing extremely serious. the article is about a school newpaper not a war or anything like that

um…the article was about students and a school news paper that has some stories that faculty did not approve of and they thought tit took advantage of the first amendment.
i think that the story is mostly on the students side because it has more arguments in the student point of view

Students feels that censorship is violating their first amendments, freedom of speech. The result given by the Supreme Court was that the school administrators have the authority of revising the paper, before and after it is printed, for grammatical errors, typos, and uncivilized topics.
I detect a bias on the part of the author. The author seems for the students and explaining their side and not the people who feel that revisions are necessary.
The story is in the wine glass structure.
The lead matches the story because it does give the reader a spark of what the story is about.
The style to me sounds professional but with a touch a bias, and it does suit the content because it is about a school newspaper being censored and the article leans on that.

The students are arguing about the school staff censoring the newspaper. They say that they want the newspaper to be the SCHOOL’S newspaper and that it sholdn’t matter to them if someone else in the community wants to read and by doing so gets a wrong impression of the school. ON the other side, the school argues that they have the right to review and censor the newspapers according to Supreme Court ruling and that stories such as the Christmas parody could affect young kids.
Overall, the article is well balanced and explains both sides of the story.
The article strats off by stating the facts and then gives both views on the subject.

The writer does seem a tad biased because they constantly state reason as to why the school board has no right to interfere with the newspaper and how their should be limits to what they can or cannot do.
They are arguing because they want to place limits on what the school board can do to the paper, in the end neither side won.

1. Explain the content of this article: Who is arguing over what and what was the result?
2. Explain the reporting of this article: Are all sides fairly represented and can you detect a bias on the part of the author?
3. Explain the writing of this article: How is it structured, how does the lead match the story, and how does the style match the content?
In the school of Monarch high school there was a typo in their school newspaper. The word was “tit” and after the newspapers were printed then they had to be collected again. The students are worried because they believe it is unfair the way the reviewing is being handled. The author does a good job by telling the side of the students. However the administration did not get that much attention. The structure seems to be in wineglass. The lead does give an insider on what the article is about.

1. Explain the content of this article: Who is arguing over what and what was the result?
The students that run the Monarch High School newspaper are arguing with their school’s administration and teachers over the censorship the student produced paper is receiving.
2. Explain the reporting of this article: Are all sides fairly represented and can you detect a bias on the part of the author?
All sides are fairly represented; I don’t believe the author’s opinion has been clearly stated in the article.
3. Explain the writing of this article: How is it structured, how does the lead match the story, and how does the style match the content?
The article is completely organized and unclear. The author does not present the unfamiliar information in a comprehendible way.
