India...Monkey!!!...Death...Headlines
S.S. Bajwa, the New Dehli deputy mayor died after injuries sustained as the result of a monkey attack Monday.
I thought this story was interesting for a few reasons.
1. Because it is a breaking event from across the world, I was only able to find the AP version of the story. I figured cnn, fox, or msnbc would have a correspondant in India who might write a version of the story, however none were to be found (as of yet) and each of their websites gave the AP story.
2. The facts of the story are extremely minimal, but to flesh it out there is information about monkey attacks and the monkey population in India.
3. Although the body of each article is the same, each organization had its own headline and byline:
CNN
Deputy mayor dies in monkey attack
MSNBC
Monkey attack leads to top India official's death
New Delhi deputy mayor falls off balcony after attack by gang of macaques
FOX
Indian Official Dies in Wild Monkey Attack
Wild monkeys attacked a senior government official who then fell from a balcony at his home and died Sunday, media reported.
I just found this little tidbit interesting.
The writing in the actual AP article is brief yet effective, the "fleshing out" of the story that I mentioned is good background information...and actually enjoyable to read.
