…for yesterday’s illegal immigrant rights protest. The Chron‘s hard news story required six reporters, and the news analysis required four reporters. After reading both, it’s unclear why the news analysis isn’t considered a straight news story, but important news outlets often have analysis pieces, so there you go.
Here’s a taste of each multi-reporter effort. From the news story:
Businesses from downtown to North Houston closed to avoid operating with skeleton crews. The worker shortage also forced some restaurant owners to don aprons and cook.
And from the analysis:
Most Houston-area businesses remained open on Monday, even if with a scaled-back work force.
Oookay.
And one point to nit-pick from the news analysis:
“Everybody’s different. Some people support it. But if we do it together we’re better,” said Franciosi, originally from Mexico but now a U.S. citizen.
“I came from Monterey and I was one of those people who didn’t have papers, so I understand the situation,” she said.
If she came from Monterrey, Mexico, there should be two r’s.
