Title: What Fidel Castro’s death means for future of Cuba

  • I loved the opinions of what the journalist has researched and given. I also enjoyed the link to another article involving a known politicians opinion. I feel as though the bar at the bottom of the article took away the non-opinionated information that could’ve been placed in the article. The gadget at the bottom was amazing!

Title: Disney’s “Moana” a box office hit, but is it offensive?

  • I loved how the article took it’s time in discussing what the movie was. Also, showcasing both sides of the argument about the movie. I’d like to see maybe a interactive poll, statements from viewers of the movie who agreed or disagreed, and charts of the numbers involving the movie.

#3

Title: Why HIV infections in this group are no longer dropping

  • This article was very informative. Great that it was mainly factual and used a couple of quotes to add credibility to the information. I also enjoyed there was a video on the side discussing the drugs that were a concern. Would’ve loved to have seen a chart of drug use in the U.S.
