Today I focused on one very intense article in the Times called In Dust and Danger, Bloodying an Afghan Foe. I thought it was an amazing article, complete with some incredible descriptions of vivid scenes. It starts with a delayed lede, describing helicopters landing, and the nut graph continues with the description. It’s not until the third paragraph, when basic facts are started to be describe. The rest of the article is largely descriptive and focuses on future plans in Afghanistan. Later in the article there are a few quotes from individuals, but a large part of it is information on the future expectations of what will happen in Afghanistan. This story more told a story as it progresses than the bare bones facts that you usually expect from the Times, I absolutely loved this story.
