The picture on the front page showed the disaster and the help that were results of a strong earthquake in Turkey. The lighting in the colors in the photo were interesting, and made me want to learn more. Also, I liked the composition of the arms of multiple men all leaning in to assist the victim. The lead of the article also helped to describe the panic and damage caused by the earthquake. I thought the article did a sufficient job of describing the damage, the victims, the number of injured and deaths, and facts about the earthquake in a such short story. I also liked how the writer personalized the story and included a few specific stories of people who were rescued.
Another story that I found interesting was "Outside Cleveland, Snapshots of Poverty's Surge in the Suburbs" because I can relate to it. The story talks about how poverty used to be concentrated in the city, but has increased in the suburbs because of the recent recession. The pictures above the story show abandoned homes, movie theaters, gas stations, and other business, which are sights that can be seen in my town and in towns surrounding me. I am from a suburb of Boston, which like the suburbs of Cleveland, has seen businesses shut down due to the recession. Although this story was focused in Ohio, I think it can be considered true of almost every state in the U.S. right now.
