Examining The News

The D&C article, "The 2019 Senior PGA Championship tees off on May 23 at Oak Hill, who's playing in it?" is short and to the point. The headline clearly states the event and time, it is also the first thing addressed in the article. This proves that the article followed the inverted pyramid because it starts with the event details, the most necessary thing, before moving on to a list of every player involved. Overall, a good example of a sports article update.

The D&C article, "Mason Earle gets life without parole for killing two of his classmates" starts off with an enticing lead that gives us the "who" and the "what". A lot of people are likely to read this article due to the effective headline and the way it's positioned on the website. The article first discusses what happened, why it happened, and then discusses the victims and addresses emotional comments from interviewed persons. While I may not agree with the way each chapter is positioned on the inverted pyramid's scale, it reiterates the principles of journalism.

The D&C article, "Man killed in freak accident at Home Depot in Victor identified" appears to be an oddball article from the headline. Who: Brian Perry, What: He died in a freak accident, When: 3:51 pm, Where: Home Depot, Why: The truck shifted while Perry was under it. The end of the article feels wrong, for it's only at the end that they state that Home Depot denies any involvement.
