RJA #13c: Application Project Example

I have decided to write a news paper article relating to the topic of my arguementative paper. Below is a link to an example of a newspaper article:


http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/youthcrime/Newsagents--lose--licences.3767594.jp

We can learn may things from this article. The content is very clearly focused on the topic at hand and strives to make any information relatable and interesting to the reader. It is important that article engages with and draws in the reader.
The article starts by briefly summarising what the rest of the article will discuss, therefore making it easy for reader to know whether the information contained in the article is relevent to the reader. The article then goes on to discuss the news at length by developing the story and providing more details.
This particular article has input from several sources, each given a small amount of space for an important or summarising phrase before moving an to someone else. It is important that all sides involved in this article ar given an opportunity for their voice to be heard, this enabling the article to be well balanced without showing prejudice or appearing to take sides.
At the end of the article, the final lines summarise what action was taken by the authorities and why they did so.
