This week I read the Dallas Morning News. It has a lot of the same categories as other news sources we have read. One thing that was different was that there is a section that shows the weather and traffic. The Dallas Morning News seems to target an adult audience who is interested and possibly lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The first article I read was “The Girl in the Closet”. It tells the story of a girl who was abused as a child and was then adopted. She grew up not having many friends and didn’t really know how to fit in. She always dreamed of having a normal life but didn’t know how.

The next article I read was “Top Texas CPS official orders more home visits in wake of abuse-related deaths” by Robert T. Garrett. This article talks about how Texas CPS is ordering more unannounced home visits due to recent deaths of foster children. In these visits they will be checking for frequent visitors as well as how the children are being treated in everyday situations.
The final story I read was “Tesla builds a fan base by leading the charge”. This article talks about Tesla Motors trying to sell their all electric cars to consumers without going through a dealership. This violates Texas law though because it would harm the car dealership’s multimillion dollar business. Although they can’t sell Tesla cars at a show or gallery, it doesn’t stop buyers from ordering them online.

Overall I liked this news source. I enjoyed reading the different stories it offers and the different categories to look through.
