This editorial was posted in the local newspaper, The Facts, in my hometown. Dow Chemical Company is what makes our community back home successful and like every other business in this economy, it is being hit hard. There have been thousands of layoffs and now many people in the community aren't sure what will become of Brazoria County and specifically Freeport, TX. Gary Hockstra, the new VP of Operations, held a press conference to try to ease the nerves of the community.
I really liked this editorial. I believe it was very well written and gave the view on the community's worries. The writer also made Hockstra seem more human instead of the VP that most assume would just feed the community lies to keep them from second guessing the company. The writer also expressed where The Facts stood in the whole situation and she reassured her readers that the publication will only be reporting the facts-- not the rumors.

It is hard to tell without knowing more about this paper, but this appears to be more of a column than an editorial. You did a good evaluation, and the column is well done. It is an important piece for the community. I imagine the paper also has editorials in the traditional unsigned form. The editorials would be more appropriate for this assignment, but you will still receive credit for this evaluation.
