Analysis: Structure in Fox News article on video of father shooting daughter's laptop

| 1 Comment

The progression of the information in this news article began strong with explaining the reactions that the father's viral video has got so far as well as it had briefed shortly about what the video was about.

From there, it presented details on what the video depicted and included some quotes the father made. Embedded in the article was the actual video, which I would classify as being a part of the article itself rather than as a mere reference.

The end of the article was dedicated to how the father felt about the reactions he received. The way the article was presented in seemingly three separate segments helped to subtly organize the information in a way that is readable and understandable. In this sense, the structure of this article was effective. There were even attributions to some comments that were made by some viewers of the video as well incorporated into the article at the end. However, I feel like there was probably too many quotes from the father and too many pull-quotes, in general. Paraphrasing would have allowed there to be a more effective understanding, in my opinion. Otherwise, we just get lost in between every pair of apostrophes.
