Haley Cutright response



My initial impression of this article is that whoever wrote this may be border lined insane. He says he is going to get to the point in the first line and then he reiterates himself too much and we don’t ever know what he is talking about till the 5th paragraph.
         The point the writer is making is to inform us of how often we don’t read a full article. However, who has time to read an article online that is two pages?? He is making a good point, but if he really wants an audience to want to read his full article he needs to watch the length and take out all the extra fluff no one cares about.
         The writer does have a good amount of information and charts in his article that back up his main points and legitimize his article. The charts and his statistics validate his research and make it appear that he has done his homework.
         The writer’s article would have been nothing without the research. His execution was horrible in my opinion, but he was actually writing about an interesting topic because most people never read a full article but still tweet and repost these articles. And how can you do that with an article that you haven’t full read and act like you know what you are talking about?
I like how Slate.com uses vivid pictures so viewers can clearly imagine the topic of each article. There isn’t much length to each article but they get the information across to the audience as concise as they can, which is good for users who just want to quick facts. I also like how they quote other sources so readers can see what other websites are saying.
