Today's article was once again on a rather depressing topic. Only today instead of being a topic that was depressing but still necessary for everyone to know- it was a very unnecessary article.

The article was about the rate of preterm deaths in different countries around the world. A report was published last year providing a lot of data on the subject. The article goes through and mentions a lot of fact on the subjects. (For example, "the increase in the number of older women having babies and reproductive techniques that make multiples more likely are probably contributing to the trend. Black women also have a 50 percent higher rate of preterm delivery than whites.") After listing an abundance of information I was hoping that the reporter would help the readers sift through the information provided. Essentially, help the reader make use of the information. Instead however the author just ends with: "The report did not outline strategies for reducing preterm births globally, but a more detailed study due in 2010 is expected to do so." I feel as though the current article is lacking a major component and should have just waited until 2010 to publish any information.
