Incident in China

       
        https://www.usnews.com/news/sports/articles/2017-11-14/trump-hopes-swift-return-of-ucla-players-detained-in-china

          The article was talking about how the three men that attend UCLA and play in the basketball team Freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley, and Jalen Hill returned back home to the United States after being detained in China for shoplifting. The article made sure to include what President Trump has done to compromise the freedom of the three men to get them back home and all charges be dropped. The article was of good amount of size and very informative. Not too long but not short at all. It went straight to the point.
        What the author could've done better was gotten pictures of all three boys when they were coming out of the Los Angeles airport. They only included a picture of Ball looking down. They did a good job and other than that that is what the author should've done to make it stronger so the viewers know how the boys look like.
           If I were to do an article about the boy's return to the United States I would include the information the article already had plus pictures of all three boys. The article included information that was valid instead of irrelevant fact that did not need to be included in. I would also include pictures of all he boys so the viewer knows how each of them looks like. Another piece I would include would be the background--what happened in China and how the whole incident went down. Other than that, the is what I would include in my article and the article did a great job in the article.

Technical Improvement

    This week, I have improved my technical abilities by working production. This week, I have worked audio when we were producing the Raven Minute. I've done it the week before as well, but I did it again so that way I would regain the knowledge. Had a bit of problem knowing what to do at first, but I remembered to do the rest as we kept redoing the show. I have also improved on my technical skills by working on the tri-caster. I knew exactly what to do without any problems except knowing when to switch screens at the given time. That is how I have improved on my technical skills this week!

Home Run Proposal

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2017/11/02/carlos-correa-proposes-girlfriend-after-astros-win-world-series/824205001/

   After winning the World Series, Carlos Correa took the chance to propose to his girlfriend. This article isn't exactly sports related but there was two things Correa ended up celebrating that night. The article isn't exactly about the Astros winning the world series but about proposal after the game. The article did very good in including pictures of the happy couple smiling at the camera after he proposed. They did a good job of putting in quotes of what Correa said during the proposal and his interview. The article was short and brief, and got straight to the point by being informative but having a more lightened mood to it.

    What the article did wrong is hard to pick out. This is because it gave the important details while it being bored and kept short, which was a very good idea. The only thing the article could've improved on would be including the actual video of the proposal as well as pictures while it went down. Other than that, it was a good article.

  If I were to write an article like this, I would definitely input pictures/video of the situation so that way the curious readers wouldn't have to search for them. I would also keep it short and brief because even though I am writing about the proposal, I am a sports writer and wouldn't want one of my articles to be long and a romantic/sappy toned for those who stumble upon it. Other than that, that is how I would do my article. This week I was a leader as I was able to do something different and actually work sound for game day the first time since I've been in e-comm. Was very easy and I was proud to know I could do it even if the only thing I did was press two buttons.
