Update for Topic Project due 2/5/09
My topic concerns instituting limits on lobbyists in the White House. My researching thus far, have been successful with the aid of the Google scholar website, google blog, and The New York Times. I have encountered problems such as different websites containing the same information that I have already obtained. Second, there are numerous articles available pertaining to my topic some relevant and others not relevant. In conclusion, this project is interesting, time consuming, and informative.

1. what makes this story news worthy?
The Color of Money and Five to 1 margin is news worthy for many reason. First, how the information was obtained. The newspapers used the federal Freedom of Inforamtion Act to obtain the information on computer tape from the federal government, which complies it from lenders' reports. Second, how corrupt companies still exist.
2. Could it have been done without the aid of the computer?
Yes, it could have been done without the aid of an computer because Bill Dedman and his associates could have interviewed the different institutions.
3. What would have made the story better?
I feel the story is best as is there is nothing that could have made it any better.
