Convergence journalism weekly blog 4

Hi everyone this is James. I 'm about to do my weekly blog post for class. I will put a link to the article I found in this post. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/26/politics/us-military-response-puerto-rico-hurricane-maria/index.html


I think the headline of the story does in fact get your attention. Also, the lead paragraph answers what is going on, and it answers who, and what the story is about. Another thing I thought the reporter did well was the fact that the lead paragraph gives you information you need to know to understand the story. I also think the body paragraph  was able to explain what is going on well.


I do however, think the reporter could have done a few things better.   I personally thought the ending was somewhat abrupt. I also do't think it was necessary to write the names of the military units in bolded font type. Another thing I noticed was that the story was some what short.


I will make sure I keep the format consistent throughout my stories. I will also be certain to include information that is required to understand the story and make sure the ending does not seem abrupt. I have collaborated with my class to help get a few stories done as well as to get some of our equipment fixed.
