Analysis of Catalonia Story
By Ned Leebrick-Stryker
I tracked a story from the New York Times about Catalonia and an independence referendum in Spain. The way that the story evolved was very tense. At first, the story was solely about the vote itself. Those in Catalonia wanted to be independent from Spain. However, as the day progressed the story evolved into the chaos that the referendum unleashed. The vote, according to Catalonian officials, ended in a yes vote for liberation, however, the Spanish government disputed this and said it was false. Eventually, Spanish police were blocking citizens from voting forcefully. This resulted in massive injuries, violence, and unrest. Following this story was like following a slow building storm. Slowly, the focus of the story changed and became about civil unrest, rather than strictly a democratic vote. The story changed several times during the course of my Sunday. I supposed it will keep changing with updates, so I will stay tuned.
