My choices were:
- Supreme Court Strikes Down Ban on Gay Sex
- California Recall
- Anglicans split on Gay Bishop
- Mass. Court allows Gay Marriage
- Sars Epidemic
- Blackout Hits U.S.
- 10 Commandments Judge removed
- Columbia Disaster
- Elizabeth Smart victim of kidnapping rescued
- California Wildfires
Now I admit to skipping things referring to Iraq, Terrorism, etc... To me, these stories had the biggest impact in my life. So I may be self centered in my choices.
Here are the results so far by people who have done the survey:
- War In Iraq, Occupation is difficult.
- Columbia Disaster
- Elizabeth Smart victim of kidnapping rescued
- California Recall
- Sars Epidemic
- California Wildfires
- Jessical Lynch Captured
- D.C. Sniper Suspects on trial
- Hunt for Al-Qaida Leaders
- Blackout Hits U.S.
Which to me seems to indicate that news readers on CNN/Netscape think that War internationally is more newsworthy than domestic rights of the individual.
So... what do you think were the top stories of 2003?
