Good newspapers provide their readers with perspective like no other media. They take a look back and they look to the future. We provide three stories that do one, the other or both from the Orlando Sentinel, The Wilmington News Journal and The Press Enterprise of Riverside, Calif.

Ben Goad of the The Press Enterprise of Riverside, California
The U.S. government reacted with unusual speed earlier this year when the Humane Society released videos of abuse of cattle at a slaughterhouse in Chino, Calif. Six months later, Ben Goad probed deeper into the government's actions with a package of stories that show the reaction had far-reaching impact. Ben is careful to provide a nuanced report that shows how perceptions play a role in how decisions get made.

Maureen Milford of The Wilmington News Journal
Anyone in the news business is well aware of the changing economic landscape for journalists. But transformation is under way for workers in most any field. Milford presents the large picture for the economy of Delaware as a fair warning to all of us that the times they are a changin'. Milford elegantly includes details that make her story uniquely local.

Mary Shanklin and Vicki McClure of the Orlando Sentinel
Housing values in Orlando, Fla., have plunged dramatically the last few years. Looking back for the cause, Shanklin and McClure of the Orlando Sentinel analyzed the figures. They found that the number of homes bought by people not planning to move into them grew from about 25 percent of residential sales in 2002 to nearly 70 percent in 2006. Housing speculators from around the world had been investing in properties sight unseen. Big mistake, Shanklin and McClure report. Their future is none too bright.
