News Comment Week 13

November 17th, 2021 | Uncategorized |

For this week’s news comment, I picked an article about the NFL ramping up covid protocols. These strict protocols are due to the upcoming holiday season. Between November 26th and December 1st, vaccinated players will have to have weekly negative covid tests while unvaccinated players will be required to have a daily negative covid test to enter facilities. Also, effective November 29th the NFL will require team cafeterias and weight-rooms in order to ensure all players are wearing masks.

The lead for this story is insanely long for a lead and is one run-on sentence that could have easily been split up or shortened into a better lead. I believe the best way would have been to make a whole different lead and use the lead as the first paragraph. As for the rest of the story, I think it was well organized and used the inverted pyramid style of writing well. One interesting thing I have noticed is that all ESPN articles have a similar set up: a long lead, most important information, a quote, and then closing or future information.

  1. Thanks for sharing this interesting news about NFL’s COVID protocols. I found the part about daily tests for unvaccinated players really important for keeping everyone safe during the holidays.

  2. This mini doughnut recipe sounds amazing! I love that you can freeze the dough for later. Making warm doughnuts at home is such a cozy idea, and being known as the friend who makes them is a great goal.
