This is a story of Joe Paterno's funeral plans. This is an interesting story because he was a legendary coached who has just passed away. He touched many many people and it is good to see how great of an influence he had on so many young people.

This story is about kids as they get older become more and more care free about their skin as they think it is important to look better. They are more concerned about their looks than their own health. I thought it was an interesting story at this time because in the winter more and more young people use tanning beds.
The second one is an interesting choice for a feature story but it works...It is an issue or problem that is relevant for a wider audience, not just the few. I also think it is relevant during this time of year not just because of winter, but also with Prom around the corner, more and more kids are tanning!
