Location of Source: Daily Mail (April 30th)
Main Points: A story of a man who was stabbed while waiting to get his copy of GTA4 at the midnight launch. A number of people in the report were interviewed and were quoted as saying it was like something out of the game. It is also mentioned that someone was waiting with his son, whether or not his son was younger than 18 isn't mentioned.
Strengths: Interviews, straight story (no injection of personal opinion)
Weaknesses: Skin deep- No actual follow up, reason for attack is unknown, just assumptions
Evaluation: A informing report that tries to bring about an unclouded view by interviewing eye witnesses but it fails to reveal the true intent of the attack. It is only an assumption that the game was the reason for the incident.
