News Comment 5
I read an article from the New York Times called,”Trading Meat for Tires as Bartering Economy Grows in Greece”. This was about how Greece’s economy is crashing and people are turning to bartering and bartering websites.
Yes, this is newsworthy. The headline makes the story seem bizarre. It can be relevant to people in other countries who are looking for ways to save money. Also more countries may have to fall back on this technique.
The audience would be anyone who may be in desperate need of finding alternatives to spending what little money the have.
The lead was just a story of how one guy was able to get tires. It didn’t really relate to the in-depth analysis of Greece’s economic economy.
I would have liked to see some more bizarre bartering examples. That is what the headline perceived the story to be so I got interested. Instead I got this really long lessons of Greece’s economic crises and how there is a website to do bartering,
I would have stuck to the bizarre bartering stories like the butcher and his tires and talked about the website, Tradenow. I would have left out a good majority of Greece’s economy because I personally don’t care about that. If it really has an affect on me I feel like I would have heard about this earlier.

This is linked to Greece’s economic problems, which have been going for years now. This article may be suggesting the deperation of Greeks, so stressing bizarre examples may have seemed like mocking or making fun.
This is sometimes called a Wall Street Journal-style article. It begins with an individual who illustrates the bigger issue.
