ASSIGNMENT FIVE:
Final Analysis This news story encompasses all kinds of facts from different sources, which includes interviewing with local people, FAO, experts, professors, analysts from CITIC Securities as well as officials of Chinese government to support her conclusion. Although some of the facts are not reliable or proper, the whole story is trustworthy to most of the people. However, the story is biased to some extend by claiming Chinese government for its irresponsibility and not sharing the information with the public. The story mentions little about the effort that the Chinese government made, and it contains little comments from Chinese government officials which compared to other sources are not enough.. From this news story we learn that before we get down to the report we should make all-around investigation and researching, let the facts speak for themselves. Of we want to promote our personal opinion through the report, we could omit or blur some of the facts inattentively. Also clarify the source can make the story more reliable. The author has excellent writing skill. The first two paragraphs as delayed lead are very attractive. But the story is not well organized in logical order. For example, the person Huang’s identity in the last paragraph of page 2 remained unknown until page 4, readers may feel confused. Overall, it is a very good report that we can learn a lot from.

Good. About the order -- Good observation. I think that is my fault, the pages were in the wrong order.

Some questions though --
Since the Agriculture Department spokesman would not comment, how could the author talk to more officials? She does site government figures and comments throughout the story.

The author does mention something about the efforts the Chinese government is making, But since these efforts do not seem to be reaching the farmers she interviews, how much space do you think it deserves?

Also, does accusing the Chinese government of acting irresponsibly and not sharing information with the public make the story biased? How so?
