Summary:This article is about recent movement of Yahoo Photos. Yahoo decided to close its photo service and because of popularity of Filckr which provides photo sharing service

Challanege: To write this kind of article, reporter needs to know a trend of technology and how this change is going to affect other industry and what this change means.

Comparison:
Although both of the article is dealing with the same topic, their way of approaching is quite different. While former article is focusing on Yahoo's policy changing, later article is focusing on how netizens are going to affected by the change of policy.

Opinion: I think both of the articles are well-written. I prefer later article,tho.

Comparison

Although this article is reporting about same situation, its focus is different from the other one. Former article blamed failed project of protecting birds but later one said environment has caused serious result.

Opinion
Basically they are talking about same event, but their tone and word choice are very different
