I thought that the photo on the front page was absolutely fantastic. It looks like it came straight out of a horror or thriller movie, and captures the mood of the story perfectly. Reading stories about foreign economic crises really opens your eyes. The US is in really bad condition, but it's nothing compared to other countries. I hated the lead though. It was just one really long sentence. I wouldn't be surprised if that lead scared some readers away. However, since it is a huge subject, I wonder if the length of a lead matters? If the writer knows that everyone will read the story because it is hot news, then does he or she have to worry about things like that?
The story about the young football player was devastating to read. It's so odd how seemingly normal situations can be fatal. I thought that the writer used an excellent quote to end the article. It made the whole article worth reading, in my opinion.
