I found my crime article in the Oshkosh Northwestern. The aticle was published Feb. 15 and was very well written. The article was about a man who was driving while intoxicated on Murdock Ave. in Oshkosh. When police suspected that he had been drinking they turned on their lights. However, the man didn't stop he ran stop signs, traveled over speeds of 95mph and resisted arrest. The police also found drug paraphinallia. He is facing up to 17 years in prison.
I like how the article was written because the reporter used words like "according to court records", and "the complaint says". I like these statements because even though it is evident that this man did these crimes, he has yet to be charged with them in a court of law. The reporter is fair to the man who allegedly did these acts. Using "the complaint says" gives the story more crediblilty rather than just leaving it out and not attributing the source. The information was well provided.

The Northwestern does not qualify as a national newspaper.
You'll get better at this faster if you spend more time looking at the best newspaper reporting, which you, unfortunately, won't find in the Northwestern.
