Hey Caelan,
ReplyDeleteIt was very fun reading your blog this week regarding identifying local opportunities. The stories that you chose were interesting in many ways. Sometimes you dont realize the opportunity that things that exist in a local news setting versus a national news such as CNN or CNBC. The story that caught my eye the most was when coffee become an addiction. I have many friends who are addicted to coffee and sometimes don't understand the side effects that come with it as your body is so used to the caffeine. Overall great work and post.
