Newspaper Log- Wednesday April 7th

In today's paper I found two articles that were interesting to me. The first article I found on the front page. It was called, "Upbeat Signs Revive Consumers' Mood for Spending." It was essentially about how people are starting to buy more not-necessary things now that the economy is slowly coming back. Retailing chains are taking in much more money now, and people seem to be buying more jewelry, clothes, and cars. I'm glad to see this article because it means the economy isn't doing so bad now and that things are starting to look up.

The second article I read was about the video that WikiLeaks leaked about a 2007 shooting in Iraq. I read the article because we talked about it in class today, and it seemed pretty interesting. I even watched part of the 39 minute video. It was pretty disturbing watching the people being shot down. The point of the article is that it brought a lot of attention to WikiLeaks. Overall, pretty good day for the NYTimes.
