                                                          What About the Students?
        One of the Seven Yardsticks of Journalism is context. This means the article needs to have a good amount of sources. This yardstick was violated in an article about the cell phone usage throughout some high schools in the Jefferson County Public School system. In the article they are talking about how the use of cell phones can help the students learn better. In this article, they get interviews from a few teachers at the schools that passed the cell phone usage policy. This journalists never seemed to interview students on how they think it will affect their education.
        When people are not getting the students input on something that will affect them the most, then she doesn't see what the author of the article is trying to get across to their readers.
