The New York Times was much more interesting today than it had been earlier in the week. A very different and interesting story on the front page was "Ohio as Veld: Lion on Loose Just the Start." The delayed lead describing the 911 call about wild animals on the loose was a great way to begin the article; an atypical story to begin with was made even more interesting by not just stating the facts right away. The thorough details, quotes, and descriptions explained every possible circumstance and angle of this story.
I also found the photographs much more interesting than those featured in other issues this week. The picture about the strike in Greece was better composed visually and had more to do with the story. The picture on the lower section of the front page, titled "The Scarecrows Weren't Enough," is one of my favorite pictures that I have seen in the Times so far. The colors and subject matter are different from many other usual pictures. However, I'm not sure if it is quite as relevant to the story as it could be; the title of the corresponding article is "To Save Jobs Bill, Obama Calls on First Responders."
