Today's issue of the paper featured numerous interesting articles. First of all, I thought that it was interesting that the Times featured a photo of an art exhibit as its main story on the front page. Art stories rarely make it to the front page. However, the actual story was located in the C section, Weekend Arts, but this still drew more attention to an art story than usual.
"U.S. Economy Picks Up Pace, Averting a Stall" was a slightly positive change in the usual articles about the economy. Although this article only said that there had only been minimal economic growth in the past quarter, it is better than nothing. The article confirmed that this growth is not enough to make a significant change for the economy, but it is a start. I found this article very informative and factual, while also having a positive spin to it.
I also thought that "U.S. Charges 11 in a Wide Disability Fraud Plot" was an eye-opening article. It is always nice to hear when criminals who are scamming other people do not get away with their crimes. I also liked that the Times has been following this story since 2008; reporting on a continuous subject or case is something that I find very important and interesting as a journalist.
