Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs has been fully focused on the corona virus and Kobe Bryan’s death for the past month. He writes pretty frequently about these two topics. throughout his journalistic work, his writing style urgent and precise as he is covering touchy subjects to begin with. He also writes with a sense of seriousness in an inverted pyramid style in the majority of his articles.

Bogel-Burroughs uses many different leads across his vast collection of published articles. The leads are catchy, and they force a reader to the next paragraph. Furthermore, he utilizes his sources throughout his work. He will cite sources frequently and use anecdotes from sources as his leads. He usually uses about two or more quotes in his story as well. His most recent story followed the lives of two people dealing with the corona virus outbreak and told their story throughout his writing.

His stories usually end with a more broader implication of what he is writing about. He will either end with a quote or a statistic about what his story covered.

Through reading his work, I have learned a lot about journalistic voice and that creativity is not always a bad thing. I can see how to make a story clear to your reader even if it is covering something that is pretty confusing. Furthermore, I hope that with practice I can make my leads as interesting and attention grabbing as Bogel-Burrous does.
