US news outlet V. Algeria

I looked at Aljezerra.com and Fox news and what I have found is that Aljezerra covered the Egyptian situation as it was happening. They found new news and explained what was happening while it was happening. Fox on the other hand (although I watch this on a normal basis) only covered certain spectacles. They found one piece of news and I felt like they beat it to death. They used the same video clip or audio to explain one source of happening for long periods of time while they were waiting for  new information. Aljezerra on the other hand told the news in action. They were live the whole time and told the story as it was happening with new live pictures and audio while it was going with continuous coverage. They were much easier to understand and with all the new information Aljezerra was there to cover the new information.
Fox though a great news station did not have the information or source that Aljezerra has. I feel like Egypt was very well covered by Algezerra.

Kim Walter


           
            May 29, 2011 is the date!
Kim Walter will become Mrs. Cris Stephens at Disney Worlds Wedding Pavilion in Florida. Her dress is an all white, heart shaped bust, with rose petals twisting down to her waist. The corseted back flows down to her sandal covered feet. “Its Fla. so I’m thinking about flats or sandals because it’s beachy and I’m already so tall!” she says.
                Walter is a 20 year old student at Anne Arundel Community College studying elementary education. She grew up in a number of places but she calls Baltimore her home. She graduated high school at Saint Mary’s in Annapolis.
Walter went to school for a few years in Florida until the middle of high school when she came to Maryland to finish. She then moved back to Fla. where she studied at Rollins College. Recently, she came home to Maryland to take care of her Father who has been in and out of the hospital.
                Although she is studying to be a teacher her dream is to own a bakery shop. “I love to bake, it’s just fun.” Walter plans on opening her bakery with friend Paul. “Then, eventually later in life after I have my own kids I will like to get into teaching. I figure I may as well get the degree now because I know I will eventually do it.”
Walter and Stephens are excited about planning their wedding and new life together in Florida. Walter is currently deciding where she would like to finish out the remainder of her college years either at Towson University or back in Florida.
