Vtdigger.org Review
Vtdigger.org is a fantastic site that seems to be really well developed and also very politically neutral in its views. From reading some of the stories on the site I noticed that a lot of quotes are continuously used, which is a very nice touch because it gives the real facts and there can't be any bias. The one story that I looked at in particular was titled "Vermont GOP: Taxes, regulations hurt Vermont businesses, economy. " This entire article could have been made with liberal views prevailing throughout, but it seemed to give the straight facts. This is something that seems to be rare in the media today. Wherever you turn you seem to get opinions thrown at you. This can make true journalism hard to come by, but this website seems to be changing that. This site is really quite intriguing and I think that it would be nice to do a multimedia project on it.
The way that Ms. Galloway is going about funding this site is interesting and could actually work quite well. I don't know if this will generate enough money as paid advertising would, but it makes the website have a home town feeling and makes the page much less cramped. I also think that when the website gets a strong following the money will come in at a much faster rate, allowing the site to survive and prosper. I really like the way this is being done.
Overall I thought the site was fantastic. The look and the entire feel was very "Vermont," and it seemed to keep that small town quality to it, which I liked strongly. In the future I will definitely check this website out for my Vermont news needs because it seems to give fair and honest reporting, which is a rarity nowadays.

Television Vandalism Stirs Debate.
Blurb: New television screen in ATT vandalized during Christmas break.
Body: On the evening of Monday, Jan. 18, an unknown vandal ruined the new televison screen located in the ATT. The screen was worth approximately $3000 and, according to director of public safety George Hacking, a replacement is going to be ordered next week.
In order to protect the new screen there may have to be security cameras placed in ATT. This may cause debate amongst students and faculty and there are many legal issues that have to be met before this can occur. The need for security cameras comes as a result of the lack of security officers on campus since officer Charlie Forrest has been deployed to Afghanistan.
There is no information regarding who may have caused the destruction. There have been no leads, but if you have any information on who may have vandalized the television you are asked to contact public safety.
