When I signed up to receive breaking news text alerts from MiamiHerald.com over a week ago, I have since been privy to updates regarding the 2008 Presidential Election, developing storms and high school shootings-all admittedly newsworthy stories.
However, on Friday, November 14, 10:54 am, I received the following breaking news text alert: "FIU President Modesto Modique announced he will step down." I'm still not too sure why I recieved this. Perhaps it would have pertained more to me had I been an FIU student?
Anyways, I went online to find out more information behind Modique's retirement, partly hoping to uncover something scandalous. But, no luck. The Friday online article and Saturday follow-up piece recount Modique's career highlights and rise to to the top, but don't really delve into what prompted his decision to step down. Therefore, I think this story could have simply been a features piece on the homepage or a nice stand-alone article in the Neighbors section, instead of a breaking news story.
