Current Events Practice

"Looking at Islamic Center Debate, World Sees U.S." Thanassis Cambis, New York Times.

The proposed building of a mosque near ground zero in New York is the topic being discussed in the article. This is a current event, within the last month, so it is not "breaking news" but it hasn't been long enough to analyze and discuss completely. The author does not mention how far away from ground zero the mosque is supposed to be built, and it would be helpful to know because it being built across the street is a lot different that 20 blocks away. To be able to report on this event, I would have to do more research on the proposed sight for the mosque to be built, and explore the arguments for both sides as this is mainly focused on countries other than the U.S., since it is being built here.
