Source Analysis: NPR is an internationally acclaimed program. This piece had 53 comments, and was well-received.
Usefulness: This radio story is very effective, because when you hear Ms. Ledbetter’s voice, it is hard to believe that anyone could try to take advantage of such a sweet, older lady. Goodyear obviously did not know who they were messing with, because the “sweet old lady” came back with a vengeance, and took the company to court not one, but two times, and thanks to the bill named after her, she finally won. That is one determined granny. I will be using her voice clips in my presentation.
