Sweet Potato Pie in Philly (Reaction)
I think this article was more descriptive of the crowd, rally settings and emotions than what Obama was actually saying. The authors descriptive tone allows the reader to feel like they were at the rally without physically being there. It was interesting to read all the little details of what was going on and the authors description of Obama's movements and body language. I think this article would be bettered suited for a magazine than a newspaper. Newspaper articles are short, sweet and to the point.

Advanced Journalism 10/8/2008 Class Discussion
Read the Fukuyama article. Can us this article for the Op/Ed (editorial) piece.
Analysis- how is it put together and presented? Read the story and then look at what Murray says about effective journalism and then find something in the article that fits his description. Murray's points in his book have some checklists for evaluating a well written story. There are several of them, some will work and others will not....just try to find what applies. Doc would analyze this piece as a pursuasive piece, it's not reporting. Think about how pursuasive it is. Go back to the Mackerel Wrapper and see what Aristotle had to say about Logos, Ethos, and Pathos and see how they apply to the story...but basically it's a reaction piece.
