This is my professional article review. I chose an article that described the dangers of winter temperature. It warns everyone that is important to stay warm during these cold times because your life really depends on it
The author, Jacqueline Howard, urges everyone to stay as warm as possible during the cold weather as some factors of being too cold could end up killing us. She uses scientific evidence to support her claim. The body has to keep the most important organs safe and warm --brain, lungs, and heart-- and so in order to do this, the body draws away blood vessels from the fingers and toes in order to keep the body from getting frostbite, heart attacks, asthma symptoms, or hypothermia.
With the scientific research Howard has made, she makes her article much more relevant and her claim is strongly backed up. Her strength is doing her research and by doing so makes her a very reliable source. A weakness of Howard is that she claims that the body needs to protect the brain, heart, and lungs. Though she only goes in depth with what happens to the heart and lungs if the body didn't immediately act...she never talked about what would happen to the brain if the body never reacted quickly against the cold weather.
The author's general conclusion is to stay as warm as possible by wearing as much clothing as possible. Wear jackets, sweaters, hats, gloves, anything that will keep the body warm and radiating heat. She also explains that there are other ways of staying warm, to keep your home as warm as possible, to have the fireplace running all night, get as much blankets to stay warm in, drink hot chocolate, and to put the heater on.
In conclusion, the article relates to me as a videographer as when I do stories for sports, I have to do my research of what happened in the game and keep scores in order to make myself a reliable source. I need to be kept up to date and if I have other sources that help my story improve, I can add that to my work as well.
