Another rare occurrence in the newspaper! Today's article talked about people being nice, rather than people being corrupt, viscous, or worst of all dead. This article talked about a study showing people's inherent nature to be nice to one another. According to the article "the somewhat surprising answer at which some biologists have arrived is that babies are innately sociable and helpful to others."
The article did a good job keeping things simple, and reminded me a lot of the kind of writing style I would try to emulate if were writing a scientific article without using any scientific words. However, I think the article may have lost the attention of a lot of readers once it reached the second page. At the same time however, had a lot of very interesting information for a someone who is either very interested in the subject (me) or someone who is well-versed in this field. As a result if I were the editor of the newspaper I would continue to keep the length of the article, even if some readers wont be reading it the whole way through.
