Potentially Deadly Virus Related to SARS Appears to Be Not Easily Spread
By Marc Santora
In this article Marc Santora seeks to educate the
population about a new deadly virus, but also calm suspicions that this disease
will drastically affect the population. He relies mostly on statistics, facts, and
reliable sources to prove credibility. The author himself does not establish a
personal relationship with the story, but for a news piece like this is would
almost lessen the credibility if the author inserted himself. The first
paragraph is the key information in the article while after that it is more details
and statistics to confirm the statements made in the first paragraph. The article
does not use diction that is too scientific. It makes it easier to read and
understand. This is especially important for this article, because when
reporting on something that could potentially be life threatening many things
could be taken out of context, so the clearer the article the better. It
effectively tell us what is happening with the disease but does not raise
panic.
