Spin

Spin, or edge is one of the reasons why we created this website, to see if we could find and identify it. To make it easier to understand spin, we looked at three main news stories-Saddam Hussein’s trail, Natalee Holloway’s disappearance, and Hurricane Katrina. We chose these three stories because in America they were HUGE, and we wanted to know the other side of the story, or even if it was told in a different part of the country. I bet that if you read a newspaper from a different country and compare it to the newspaper you normally read, there will be a difference, big or small.

According to the American Heritage High School Dictionary:  spin - n. 7. To provide an interpretation of (a statement or event for example), esp. to sway public opinion.
