SC Primary Articles

This past weekend both Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump won the South Carolina primary elections.

In the first CNN article “Hillary Clinton crushes Bernie Sanders in South Carolina: 5 takeaways” the author does a good job of starting out by briefly explaining what happened in South Carolina. Next, the article is divided up into five key points which the author believes to be the most important takeaways from the South Carolina primary. I thought that structure made it easy for the reader to follow along and to be able to pull what is important from the article. The article includes statistics about the minorities that supported Clinton. The article also talks about the importance of Clinton to win South Carolina by so much to shut down Bernie Sanders’ momentum from New Hampshire.

In the Huffington Post article “Trump just won South Carolina. These charts show how huge that is”. The article uses a combination of charts, graphics, and analysis to show what happened in the primary. The article gives statistics that breaks down the overall victory percentage for Donald, what types of people voted for others, and which districts voted for which candidates. I thought that the article was very easy to follow. It also was able to easily avoid any bias by simply giving the statists, and showing them in graphics.
