This article is from the Erie Times News. It has a well written inverted pyramid style. The lead should never be too long, and should always inform us what the story is going to be about. It should have the who, what, where, when, why. This story is very effective. You can understand the story easily because it is set up well, and the writing gets to the point. The lead gets to what the story is going to be about. “An Erie man faces trial on charges in a burglary in Millcreek Township in September and in an escape from the Millcreek police station after his apprehension earlier this month.” This tells us who, and what is going on. In the first paragraph is not all of the information, but you can tell what is going to be talked about in the story. The next paragraph which is the “Body” goes into the details of the story, as in who this man is, how old, and other details like that. In the third part to the story which is the extra information, they explain what other charges he has going on, besides the charges he is facing for this story, which is very important to the story. The story could have more details in the beginning of news story, but I think it does a good job at explaining what is going to be said.
