Today I read two articles that were very different from what I'm used to usually reading in the times. Usually Times articles have short sentences, are rushed to get the information out, and have short sentences. However, both of these articles have long drawn out paragraphs, with long sentences in them. It shows me that plenty of articles about things that are currently going on, and not just events aren't like the traditional rushed articles.
The first article was one about a Bronx Housing Complex being built and all the benefits it is bringing to the community together. I really liked the story, it was something different that I'm not used to seeing in the New York Times and was kind of a breath of fresh air. Although, I did feel as though it somewhat drew on after a while and I got a little tired with the extensive paragraphs.
The other one I found even more interesting which was about Sentencing Shifts causing fewer cases to go to trial. This one didn't have a delayed lede and got to the point quickly, but it got much deeper into the story than I would have expected. I realized that a lot of the time articles can go much deeper into stories than just scratching the surface and getting the word out as I'd thought.
