Advance Analysis
The writer of the advance written for the Houston Clinic that appeared in the La Crosse Tribune on Sunday did not take a whole lot of time to make a story out of the advance; however, he did present the facts.
The story is summed up in the first line, stating that the Houston Clinic opens on Monday. It then goes on with a brief background that this is Gundersen Lutheran's first clinic in the town, and that it's opening after Franciscan Skemp closed their clinic there in February. The advance ends with a message to pick up a copy of Monday's Tribune for more information.
The story is basic, has no real draw for the reader, and is likely something to be skimmed over by anyone not in the town of 1,000 people. On the plus side, though, it clearly presents most of the facts, and alerts the reader to where they can find more information.
