Wellesley in the Paper!

Today's article featured someone close to home. A professor at Wellesley, Karl Case, was used as a source in the article. Overall the article took a very scientific approach to the housing crisis. I'm not sure why they chose a Wellesley professor as a source to comment on this subject, however, the comments made were all very relevant and added to the article.

In addition they chose a Yale professor as a source, to provide another viewpoint instead of just using one source's view. Both of these sources spoke in a very simplistic manner so that the average person without a lot of background knowledge on the subject could understand. Overall, this article took a subject I would normally not be interested in or very knowledgeable about and kept me interested and even taught me a thing or two.
