Today, the general news topics are similar to what they were yesterday. All news sources are covering the corona virus as it continues to spread all over the world. All countries, especially European countries, are now on high alert as it is becoming more and more prominent in their continent. Many events are now being questioned if they are safe to hold now due to the risk of infecting other countries. The Olympics, for example, may not be held this year if the virus is not under control soon. Economies are also being hurt by this outbreak. US investors seem very working about the stock market and how many stock prices are beginning to drop.

This article in the Virginian Pilot is another clear example of an inverted pyramid structure of story telling. This article is about the democratic race for the candidacy to run against Trump in the state of Virginia. This story has a special tie to home because CNU did the data-gathering for the numbers in the story. This story starts off once again with the most important information. Biden is currently leading the state of Virginia with 22% of voters, followed by Sanders at 17%, Bloomberg at 13%, and Warren at 8%. These statistics are clearly the most important information of the article and this are first in the article. The article then ends with some less-important data about what the margin of error is and what might change in these numbers in the future.

Today, the stories seems to have a much larger spread of topics than the last time I checked Feedly. I believe this is due to the fact that no major political incident has happened the night before like we saw last time with the democratic debate. However, there are still two lose similarities I can see still formed. The first is Mike Pence being put in change of the US’ fight against coronavirus. Many people seem to be upset with this decision because now all scientists in America working on this issue must give the results of their findings to Pence and he delivers it to officials across our borders. The other major similarity I see is initial stories coming out of the NFL scouting combine. As one of America’s most viewed sport, seeing the upcoming draft class display their skills will always draw attention.

This article by ProFootballTalk follows a clear inverted pyramid structure. The article is about the new proposed CBA (Collective Barring Agreement) and how it will penalize players even more for holding out of practice while waiting for a new contract. The article starts by sharing the different things that will change with this new CBA. All these changes are meant to stop the players from holding out of practice and games. The players do not like this because it gives them less leverage in the contract discussions. The article then finishes up by giving details that are not nearly as important.

Lisa Vernon Sparks is playing the role of researcher guide as a journalist in her article about Magruder Boulevard to Neil Armstrong Parkway. This title does not give the reasoning away for this change, and Lisa makes sure to organize the information on why this name change is coming so it is easy for the reader to understand. She verifies that is is because Magruder was a confederate general and not someone to be remembered. Since it is the 50th anniversary of the first man on the moon this year, it makes sense to change the name to Neil Armstrong.

Today, almost all the sites have an article up about the democratic debate that ensued last night between the candidates. Besides the debate, the only other subject that has much traction today seems to be the German gunman who killed nine in a shooting and is calling for a genocide. They all have a similar take away from this debate. Bloomberg was the clear and undisputed loser. There seems to be a consensus that Bloomberg’s only tool was his wealth. His public speaking was clearly lacking.

The article from the Washington Post follows a clear thematic structure. After a brief set of quotes from the debate to hook the reader, The article is broken up in short paragraphs. Each covers one of the major moments from the debate and talks about them each separately. Some of these topics include “Warren compares Bloomberg to Trump” and “Sanders tailors his message towards the working class and middle class”. This is helpful for readers who are just looking to skip the important moments of the debate. The reader is able to just read the first bold sentence of each paragraph to get the gist if he or she does not want to take the time to read the entire article.

A New York Times article on Bloomberg’s next steps after the debate show author Jeremy Peters taking on the role of a collaborator. This article does not focus on the debate itself, but rather what Bloomberg does right after to help gain back some ground. But to make this story effective, he provides links to earlier stories on how the debate went and the details about Bloomberg looking like another Trump and Warren and Sanders ripping him apart . These are important links to help establish the context of the story so the reader can get more out of the article he or she is now reading.
