Analysis: The Daily

For this week's analysis, I listened to the most recent episode of the New York Times' podcast The Daily. On this episode, the podcast talks about the release of the Mueller report and what information was found in the investigation. 

The podcast progressed by explaining different aspects of the Mueller report and going over the information Mueller found in relation to Trump's relationship to Russia. The podcast starts out by Mueller's reporting on the accusations of collusion with Russia by the Trump administration. Then, the podcasts shifts to discussing accusations of obstruction of justice against Trump. 

The podcast included two reporters as guests who spent a large amount of time reading the Mueller report. The two guests explained what they read in the report to clarify what was said in the report, what information the special counsel found in its investigation and what charges, if any, were found during the investigation. 

The podcast included sound bites from public officials, specially William Barr, who wrote a four-page summary on the Mueller report. Barr was criticized for his summary, which stated the president did not collude with Russia, or obstruct justice. The sound bites of Barr included Barr's press conference where he defended Trump's action during the  Mueller investigation. The sound bites amplify the story by including real quotes from Barr, which the host and guests focus on and dissect the meaning of his words and analyze the venerability and correctness of Barr's summary.

If this were my podcast, I would add more sounds bites to keep the audience engaged in listening to the podcast. There were points in the podcast where the commentators were dull and speaking in a monotone. The one sound bite that was included in the podcast was refreshing and re-engaged me in the podcast. Another aspect I would add to the podcast is a more excitable guest or host to keep the podcast at a higher energy. The commentators in this podcast spoke slowly and did not add a lot of energy to the podcast, which was surprising for an issue such as the Mueller report.

Analysis: Immigration community

BY ANDREW WRIGHT For this week's analysis, I found an article from the Associated Press that covers President Trump's remarks about sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities as a way to teach the cities a lesson for not working with Trump on his immigration policy. The author of the article sourced Trump and parts of his administration when the president and his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders discussed the idea of sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities. Additionally, the author sourced immigration organizations and attorneys in sanctuary cities o cover the pro-immigration side of the debate as a contrast to President Trump's anti-immigration idea. The author used an analysis from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University to report on statistics and data about immigrant populations in sanctuary cities and the probability of immigrants being arrested compared to immigrants living in non-sanctuary cities. In any immigra

Jury selection process for Mohamed Noor case continues

BY ANDREW WRIGHT The jury selection process for the murder case of Mohamed Noor continues to be a complicated process as more potential jury members have been excused, according to WCCO. A total of 75 people were questioned as potential jurors for the trial. On Wednesday, a total of 16 people had been dismissed from the trial, and by Thursday, the number increased to 23. The minimum number of jury members needed for the trial to proceed is 12 jurors and at least four alternates. Mohamed Noor is a former police officer who is charged for the murder and manslaughter of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a 40-year-old with dual citizenship in the U.S. and Australia. Noor responded to an emergency call where he fatally shot Damond. Damond called 911 to report a possible rape happening outside her residence.
