This week’s newscast covered mainly local and national news. However, because of environmental crises in New Zealand and riots in Egypt, the first part of the newscast took a slightly more international focus.

Other stories include exposes on the Dream Act, gas prices, the student-run radio station, and a new study on Facebook and alcohol.
