New York Times- Tuesday, September 20 2011

I found Tuesday's paper to be filled with many intriguing stories. After Monday's class, I noticed myself being caught by the leads of many of these stories. I enjoyed reading many and trying to indicate if they were delayed leads or summary leads. I do find that I continued on reading the majority of stories that started with summary leads, which is beneficial to understand when it comes to my writing. The "In Small Towns, Gossip Moves To the Web, and Turns Vicious" story was one that I spent much of my time reading and thinking about. It was definitely a devastating story, but I am unsure if I would qualify it as news due to it lacking most elements of news (based off the list that was generated in class). Overall, this was a good paper.
