While reading this blog site I found a few elements of the writings a little surprising. When I think of a professional blog coming from the New York Times, I think of something well formated and writeen with proper style. The author of today's post, Andy Newman writes a lot like Eugene Robinson. The post is written in a narrative style. I enjoyed the reading and could relate to the school children but I was surprised by him calling the mayor two-faced when describing the children's anger toward the mayor. He puts a lot of his own opinions into his writing. I personally like face to face interviews better than pulling quotes from twitter or facebook, but I thought it was a clever way of proving his points by posting their pages. I also like the layout of this blog site. The layout is very well put together with many informational tools and realted stories. I think this site is very useful for daily information and thoughts.
