Reporting the Story: Facebook Scams

Today, News 20 @ 5 followed many interesting news stories around the Tallahassee area. Our reporters covered stories on Florida's Insurance Crisis and Facebook Scams. Today, was a slow news day, and so many of our reporters were required to enterprise stories. The story that I decided to follow for today's news was a story on Facebook Scams. I intially saw the story on CNN and decided to localize the topic and tailor it to Tallahassee's demographic.
Tallahassee is filled with college students and many of those students use Facebook. Facebook is one of the most popular social networking websites on the web, but it also can become a haven for scam artist. Watch News 20@5 for the latest on Facebook scams.

A new tattoo bill passes in Florida and many tattoo shops are saying it's time for the reform to take place. The new tattoo bill will require tattoo artist to follow stricter rules when it comes to tattooing. This new bill will also make it harder for any minor under the age 16 to get a tattoo, even with mom and dads permission. Several tattoo shops around Tallahassee are glad to see the changes take place. These stricter standards forevery tattoo artist. Whether practicing underground or above ground.
The new bill also has its benefits for customers. Stricter health standards can prevent people from contracting diseases from tattoo shops.
