Who Cares and Why? (Madeline Arcaro)
For most news pieces, there's a specific audience and niche market that the author feels the story is most valuable and appropriate for.
The first piece I chose is "Tom Petty died of accidental drug overdose, coroner and family say" by Daniel Arkin and Andrew Blankstein. ( Read it here ) This story is kind of a big deal, as the original cause of death by singer Tom Petty was unknown. Petty was a worldwide phenomenon, and his death took the entire world by storm. This article was meant for lovers of music, especially rock, who cared about Petty as a singer and especially as a person. The people who did care about him want to know the cause of death and inside stories from family members and friends.
The second piece I chose is "Women's March 2018: Protesters Take to the Streets for the Second Straight Year" by The New York Times ( Read it here ). This article is about the Women's Marches all over the world, protesting some things that President Trump has said in the past. Plenty of people care about this story, including people on both sides regarding Trump. The people who are supportive will read to see what could disappoint them, and the people who aren't big fans will read it because they want to be supportive of the movement. The story was published because the authors knew that people on both sides of the spectrum would read.
