"I have always loved capturing the world in words"

March 4 New York Times

There was some great stylistic choices in the article about movie stars that immediately caught my eye. Two paragraphs down, (after a good lead) the article cuts down a paragraph saying:

How bad is it?
Pretty bad.

I thought this choice was very effective and I was reminded that all of my articles do not need to be cookie cutter articles, and that I do have the freedom to play around with the structure of my piece a little more.

The article about facebook ads caught my eye also. As an avid facebook user, anything that has the two words "facebook" and "off key" in the headline made me interested to read more. The article is well put together and I found myself easily being able to read it, and connect it to my own life, since I too have been subject to these kind of ads, and it was interesting to find something that I knew about in the news.
