• The news articles layout and style contain certain features which have been standardized over time. Such features are labeled with certain terminologies such as flag, folio, ears, subheads, bylines, and photo credit.

Real-world Example: "The New York Times" is a newspaper with a distinct layout. Its "flag" or logo appears at the top of every page. The "bylines" are the names of the reporters or contributors to an article. "Subheads" are smaller headlines within an article that break up the content and make it easier to read.

• The structure in journalism isn't an end in itself but serves as a guideline for more personal and agile engagement with texts. This means that knowing the structure of news articles is key to understanding and critically analyzing the content presented.

Real-world Example: Consider how the structure of a scientific paper, with its abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusion, helps you to understand the research, its findings, and its implications. The same applies to news articles.

The article is a news piece covering the resignation of Tom Price, the HHS Secretary, due to alleged abuses of spending privileges. The format follows the standard journalistic structure, including the byline, lead, and body of the story.

• As students of English A, your task is not only to identify the common structure in news reporting but also to notice instances where the text diverges from the usual. This could include a shift in tone, the introduction of opinion, or the use of non-standard formatting.

Real-world Example: In the 'Price resigns' article, the narrative stays largely factual and informative, but also includes commentary from different stakeholders like Senate Democrats, Senate Minority Leader, etc. These voices introduce diverse perspectives into the report, representing a divergence from the 'objective reporting' standard.
