The CBS story "Obama talks tough at AIPAC, urges caution on Iran" from CBS, covers President Barack Obama's talk at the annual American-Israeli conference in Washington D.C.
The reporter started off with a very simple, hard lead about what the speech was on--probably because it was not only a speech but it was a major issue topic. The second paragraph gave some context to the speech. The following seven paragraphs used a lot of quotes from Obama as well as summarizing what the speech said. The then used quotes/summary from a speech given by Israeli leaders.
The reporter went beyond the event in that he gave part of another speech in another place from another person, but relating to the topic. This gives more context to Obama's speech as well as allowing the reader to get a wider view of what the situation is like. The reporter also included history of the relationship between the President and the Israeli leader. Other background information about the situation in Iran was also included apart from the actual speech.
