Today on Wave 3 news, they had an interesting exposure of the recent controversies of education and charter schools. Many organizations have been contacting different candidates to discuss the situation, and their concerns.
I would like to commend Wave 3 for representing the side for charter schools, as many of those in this discussion are against them. It is a core principle of Journalism to equally and accurately represent all sides of a story, and Wave has been able to do this. Especially the group they have reported on and interviewed has often been marginalized, and they have made a good point. The local African American community have been pining to have these charter schools, so their children can go to better schools in other areas from where they live. The parents pointed out that the charter school will not cost as much as their opponents fear, and that their children seek the best education's they can possibly have.
While I do not have all the facts on this story right now, I think that their argument is valid, and lead me to support the charter schools. I also want to point out that: Wave 3 has been doing fairly well since my class has begun this study, though, they are still a local news source.
