This story was written by someone who’s sister suffered through extreme alcohol addiction. It goes over how she started using alcohol in 8th grade, and grazes over some of the lowest points in her life. I feel that this piece is relevant to the Syracuse community because our city has an extremely large problem with addiction. Also, the fact that we are in college right now basically implies that there is going to be a lot of alcohol around us. It is important to remember that alcohol can ruin peoples lives. All you need to do to see this in action is go drive around downtown Syracuse for a little bit, and you will eventually see someone walking around and drinking a bottle, no matter what time of day.

This is the homepage for the Onondaga Lake cleanup project. It is not a news story, it is designed to catch the eye of the public so that they might be motivated to attempt to be involved in the cleanup. The homepage features green decorations that give it the environmentally friendly vibe. There are also pictures of wildlife and plants. There is a lot of information on this website including the progress that they are making, what still needs to be done, how the cleanup will affect the public’s health and safety, and how people can get involved.
