Happening Now

In the Wall Street Journal, stories under Korean Real Time could be an example of something to go under the category of quadrant I. The stories contain hard, real time data. In my opinion, they give the truth and do not attempt to persuade the reader into thinking the writers' way. The sports story on March Madness is considered more of a quadrant III story. It's not of extreme importance and it has more of a persuading effect on the readers. I believe that many papers, including Maplight, and Newsworks, follow the same stories. The stories may not be identical but they all have the same idea. Some stories more important than others but the ones that belong on the first page should be stories that belong in quadrant I because those are the real time stories, the ones that matter are not always the most interesting but they are the ones that need to have the attention.

Summly and Circa
Summly seems to have more news in the app; though it's not as simple and colorful as Circa. Circa is appealing to the eye, which will pull people in.
Popurls and Meltwater
Popurls, although not very appealing, it's jam packed of information. Meltwater is appealing and simple but you only get a free trial; it's said that you get what you pay for though. How would you feel if where you go to get news was sued though? Meltwater lost to AP claiming they are not using fair use of their information which they find. In simplest words they're stealing stories.

Global Inequality Story

Summly and Circa would not cover this story because it's a more complex story. This is not something that you would see in a simple news app on your phone. 

It would be more likely that Popurls would cover the story but it would not look as appealing and have a map it would show the facts and get down to the truth without distracting maps and pictures. Meltwater on the other hand, would be more likely to cover the story almost exactly how it is.
