January 20, 2006

We asked Poynter faculty members and Poynter Online contributors for
their impressions of the news of the week. What surprised them? What
was overplayed? Underplayed? What does it mean for the media? What will
they be watching for next week?

At the end of every week, we’ll ask the same questions and you can find their answers here.
