Obama's Fight to Raise Education Budget



http://www.npr.org/2011/02/15/133768981/Obamas-Budget-Calls-For-More-Spending-On-Education

I chose this story because it made me realize that although the president may promise to fight for education buget increases, the likely hood of it actually happening is slim because of who opposes him.

The news values of this story are:

1. Impact: this will impact the education of the students in America, 2. Prominence: President Barack Obama is important in the story, and 3. Conflict: there is a conflict between what Obama wants and what congress wants.

The lead answers the who, what, and why. The two other W's are answered later in the story.
