For Flood Victims, Another Blow Is Possible

With the recent tragedy of Hurricane Sandy, I have been very interested in reading the countless articles and reports on the effects on the east coast.  When searching for my articles I have begun to always look to the New York Times.  I find that these articles not only are intriguing and well written, but include a good amount of facts to build a complete story. In the article "For Flood Victims, Another Blow is Possible," the author provided logos through stating facts and explaining certain situation, but included ethos through different quotes and pictures of the statement.  For example, the author states that there is $18 billion dollars of damage, which is a shocking number.  This fact combined with the picture on the cover of the article results in a mixture of logos and ethos.  This tactic is what makes the New York Times so captivating to me.  I am able to relate to the stories emotionally and personally, while also gaining a concrete knowledge about the event.
