Journal Entry #2

The Mafia and a Nigerian Gang are Targeting Refugees in Scily

What?/Where? They’ve fled violence, poverty, and terrorism – and made the often perilous journey across the Mediterranean from Africa and the Middle East. But for the more than 100,000 migrants who’ve arrived in Italy so far this year, the life that awaits them can be almost as dangerous as the one they left behind.

Why? It’s an attempt to deter other gangs from pursuing similar means of exploitation in the 
country, while the Italian government continues to grapple with the influx of people to its shores.

This Article is effective i feel because it catches the attention of people by its vague Title.

The Story doesn't have much of an ending because its a very hard fact story it is mostly just facts and statements.

Quebec’s liquor board to control legal weed sale
why? Quebec follows the lead of Ontario and New Brunswick, which announced their initial plans for the sale and distribution of cannabis earlier this month
Who?/When? Quebec’s health minister is expected to introduce a proposed law on recreational cannabis in the coming months, ahead of the federal government’s deadline to allow sales by next summer.
What?/Where? Quebec plans to sell recreational cannabis through the province’s liquor board, and will set the minimum legal age to buy and consume it at 18 years old, according to news reports published on Friday. 

This is an effective article. I feel it would catch the attention of a lot of people that use weed. If people can buy weed legally it will put a stop to black market sales. 

A quote from the article: New Brunswick’s finance minister Cathy Rogers announced last week that "a new crown corporation would oversee legal weed sales, in partnership with two large cannabis companies that are licensed by Health Canada".

The interesting news is told first. It is that Quebec will sell weed legally store front by next summer.

The story didn't have a good ending the story is mostly just facts not much like a story it ends very abruptly.
