Global Diabetes Epidemic
According to Kasia Lipska's editorial in The New York Times entitled "The global diabetes epidemic," type II diabetes is no longer a 'first world' problem but rather is penetrating the developing world as well. When Lipska went to India to work at a clinic as a medical researcher studying stroke, she was shocked to find that the majority of the health issues that presented themselves at the clinic were related to diabetes, not tuberculosis or dengue fever (illnesses traditionally associated with the developing world). From her own personal experiences and the ethical obligation she felt to improve the conditions she saw, Lipska's essay attempts to galvanize the reader to take action.
It should be noted that Lipska also uses logos or logical evidence in her work. "Diabetes has become a full-blown epidemic in India, China, and throughout many emerging economies," she notes. While in the United States there…...

Public policy issue: Healthcare reform
The issue of healthcare
Healthcare is an extremely complex, bureaucratic public policy issue. However, it is also very emotional for many Americans given healthcare encompasses the 'hot button' issues of physical health and spending large amounts of money. The recent debate over the Affordable Care Act is only one of many national 'conversations' about healthcare that has resulted in partisan divisions even within families.
Democratic principle 1: Autonomy
Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the ACA is the individual mandate, which states that all Americans must have health insurance or pay a penalty unless this will cause them undue hardship. Many conservatives bridle at the fact that they are being 'compelled' by government to buy something…...

Newspaper Strategies
The traditional print version of newspapers worldwide has suffered serious setbacks in recent years, to the point that some industry experts are predicting the ultimate demise of print newspapers. But there are creative ways to keep the newspapers in business and profitable, and this paper sheds light on those potentially successful strategies. Also, a news service should be available that reports instantly important economic and business news to points all over the globe. The emergence of smartphones make it easy and practical for that kind of pivotal economic information to be uploaded and used.
hat Has Happened to the Newspaper Industry?

mlaBoth papers, then, invite the reader to scan for articles of interest, but in the online version, the editor of the web page has made more decisions for the reader. Considerably less text is on the first page, probably because not everyone has markedly large computer screens that could hold a full page of text. In addition, for many people it may be easier to read on paper than online. A reproduction of the front page of a newspaper might be harder to take in than the printed version, possibly because the printed version can be manipulated to make it easier to focus just on one part of it.
However, the computer version of the newspaper has one tremendous advantage: it is interactive. A click on the picture takes the reader to the article, which can be printed or emailed. At the end of the article are hyperlinks that can immediately take the reader to another article. Alternatively, the reader can use search to find previous articles on the topic. This last feature solves one problem with newspapers: it is hard for them to cover a topic in depth in one issue. Over time, however, they may have covered the topic extensively.
Serious newspaper readers may well want to use both forms: first the paper version, to browse and find things of unexpected interest, and then the online version to follow up in more detail on topics of greater interest to the reader. http://www.sptimes.com/home.shtml
During 2006, according to the accountants P. wC, global newspaper advertising revenues increased 4%. They increased by 15.6% during r the past five years. "Hidden within those figures is the fact that newspapers - the 2nd largest advertising medium after TV - are actually larger than the combined advertising value of radio, cinema, magazines and the Internet"
. By 2010, according to P. wC predictions, the global advertising market will increase by 6.2% to $525bn ([pound]265bn), a growth of $111bn ([pound]56bn). Newspapers are projected to capture 18.2%, second only to TV and the internet.

"The number of uninsured rose 2.2 million between 2005 and 2006 and has increased by almost 8 million people since 2000" (Health Insurance Coverage, 2009).
Most Americans are provided with health insurance coverage through their employers. But in today's society employment is no longer a guarantee of health insurance coverage. "As America continues to move from a manufacturing-based economy to a service economy, and employee working patterns continue to evolve, health insurance coverage has become less stable. The service sector tends to offer less access to health insurance than the manufacturing sector does. Further, an increasing reliance on part-time and contract workers who are not eligible for coverage means fewer workers have access to employer-sponsored health insurance" (Health Insurance Coverage,…...

articles about the U.S. war on Iraq, both taken non-U.S. newspapers. The articles, one Canadian, and one from Australia, are clearly critical of the U.S.'s attempts to instigate military action on Iraq. This may reflect a growing worldwide opinion the U.S. has no right to bring the world to war by insisting on military action against Iraq.
In an article entitled "Trigger-happy U.S. checked by UN safety catch," Journalist Marian Wilkinson delves into the U.S. war on Iraq. Published in the Sydney Morning Herald, this Australian article starts with the note that the United States and Britain "quietly ditched" a hard-line draft of a resolution on Iraq before that resolution made it to the United Nation's (UN) Security Council negotiating table. The article notes that the initial hard-line resolution would have "committed the United Nations Security Council to a military strike on Iraq within weeks."

The dementia patients who hoarded food were sometimes successfully treated with the drug fluvoxamine 15 Phenyopropanoloamine (Hwang et al., 1998, pg. 287), while most of the elderly received physical assistance in cleaning and/or clearing out the home, but this treatment was not "consistently effective" (Steketee, Frost & Kim, 2001, p. 182).

newspapers and information that we find on the Internet is the fact that, in the former case, information is checked and approved by editors or people in charge of evaluating its accuracy. This is not the case for the Internet, where virtually anyone can buy a domain, make a Web page and spread information. How do we know what is accurate and reliable here?
Several interesting articles on the Web itself refer to this subject. First of all, we should look at the language used in information presented on the Web. For example, slang language or aggressive words, as well as boasting statements can generally be ignored as irrelevant ("this is the most important idea ever conceived"
). Another source for evaluating accuracy and reliability is the sources referenced. Indeed, an article that has reliable sources, such as encyclopedias, known books or textbooks, etc. is more likely to contain useful information.

In this article, Gallant (2016) describes the ongoing legal battle between Sveta Kholi and her former neurologist, Paul O'Connor. Kholi has accused O'Connor of sexual abuse. After the complaint was lodged formally, a complex bureaucratic process ensued whereby the entire case appears to have been stalemated. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario has a committee that formally handles complaints, and the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board (HPARB) is a civilian body that hears appeals specifically from that very same College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
However, the bureaucratic complications become even trickier. According to the journalist, the College of Physicians and Surgeons also has an Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee. The HPARB has ordered on two separate occasions for the Inquiries, Complaints, and Reports Committee to…...

This is also reflected in the view that there is a lot of difference between a high school senior and a college freshman. egarding the world of student journalism, the U.S. Court of Appeals has also agreed with this view.

Double Fold -- the Book that Shook the World of Librarians
The man whose name has become "mud" in the domain of librarians the world over is also a novelist, journalist, founder / head of a non-profit corporation known as "American Newspaper epository" (AN), and "library activist"; his real name is Nicholson Baker, and the book that brought so much attention to him, and to the practice of some libraries to destroy newspaper archives, is Double Fold: Libraries and the Assault on Paper.
It all began in 1993 for Baker, as he explains in the Preface to his award-winning book, when he was writing a piece for The New Yorker, and, while interviewing librarians around the country, " ... found out that the card catalogs were being thrown out everywhere. I grew less cheerful, and the essay grew longer," he wrote (vii).

4.0.1 Observing that they have to keep up with the evolution of news, many newspaper companies have focused on maintaining their name in the news industry through redistributing their operations with paper and printing toward digital settings and platforms.
4.0.2 The commercial aspect of newspapers is especially important when considering their ability to stay strong in the news industry. However, as people discovered the increased effectiveness of buying things through the internet, newspapers experienced a significant decline in sales. Mediums such as Ebay or Craiglist have made it possible for sellers and buyers to interact more effectively and to be able to get a better understanding of what they were selling/buying. The graph below provides information regarding the evolution of newspapers ads in comparison with the evolution of Craiglist revenue. Although newspapers continue to dominate the industry, their severe decline in sales in the recent years emphasizes the fact that newspapers…...
