This week is the Dallas Morning News was the news source I read. I read it on October 25, 2013. The news outlet covers topics in the metroplex of Dallas and Fort Worth. Most of the major topics that are discussed are from the state of Texas. When my family lived in Dallas growing up my parents used to read the Dallas Morning News.

This weeks top story was “Federal judge weighs the fate of new state abortion law”. The news coverage pertained to a federal judge who is weighing the options of what to do about closing the majority of the abortion clinics. When the law goes into effect next week most of the abortion clinics that are in the state of Texas will close down. The only two that will still be in full service are the two from Houston and Dallas. They are also trying to limit or ban the use of not only surgical abortions, but also the abortion pill that was deemed okay by the federal government over 20 years ago.

The other article that was not as important was the  “Cowboys played better defense for Dez than against Lions”. The Dallas cowboys lost again today. One writer for the Dallas Morning News believed that if they would have planned defense the way they defended Dez Bryant after the game they would be going into Halloween with a winning streak. The cowboys didn’t get wide receiver Dez Bryant into the game until it was nearly half time. He ran the ball and Romo threw a high pass to be incomplete. The Lions was the team that the Cowboys were playing and they seemed to have lost the game with just over a minute to go when the Cowboys defense blew the game on defense.

The last story I read was about the Texas Department of Transportation. They attended the SMU game this weekend. During the homecoming parade they set up a table to try to convince people to not drink and drive after the football game. TxDOT says they do not have a problem with people drinking at the games. They just want people to do it safely.

The audience for this outlet is anyone who is in the Dallas area looking for good local news. It also has the main national issues that people should be concerned about.

It appealed to me because I am from Dallas so I am used to actually reading this paper. I enjoy the pieces and news that they have in this newspaper.
