Second Story Pitches

1.)Gambling among college age people has increased in the last few years due to the explosion of the World Series of Poker. Many kids spend hours and hours a day playing on-line poker when they should be studying or doing other things in college. But there are young people that do make it in the poker playing world. This article would take a look at the problems that have aroused in the last few years with youth gambling but also take a look at a few cases where playing poker has actually helped students get by in this tough economic time. Article might also look at other gambling forums such as casino games, or sports betting and their impact on young adults.

2.) An idea I previously pitched in class. I want to look at how media messages effects the beliefs of citizens. Do where people get their news effect their political views? Or do people with certain political views watch certain channels. How has the emergence of blogs and political commentary influenced peoples opinions of media? Do they prefer more traditional news sources or do they like where this new media is headed?
