This week I wrote my article about the
debate surrounding the UNH/Durham community outdoor pool. I had heard a lot about this debate over the
summer because my mother is a Durham town councilor, and the town council has
been involved in this issue as representatives of the community. I believe that this story is news because it
includes conflict, impact, immediacy, proximity, and emotions. It has conflict because UNH may get rid of
the current pool, which according to UNH has a significant amount of deficiencies
in health and safety, in order to create a new one, something a good amount of
Durham citizens are not pleased about.
It has impact because it matters to readers whether the pool will be
changed since the current one has been such an integral part of the Durham
community for almost 100 years. It has
proximity because it is a very local issue, and it has emotions because many
Durham residents have fond memories of this pool and it means a lot to so many
who saw their children grow up at the pool.
