Leave us alone

Never is Steve Jobs failing into make news for himself and his Apple. Currently, the argument between a journalism student and Jobs has become a hot issue. Both SMH and TIMES LIVE reported this story on the same day of September 20, 2010.

Well structured article on SMH clearly tells the cause, the development and the effect of this argument. After briefly pointing out the issue, the article published on SMH introduces the background of one of key people in this argument, Long Island University senior Chelsea Kate Isaacs, and the reason for contacting Apple’s chief, Steve Jobs, via email. In the meanwhile, it is also the beginning of this argument. Then this article clarifies the details of their argument, including the original contents which tell audience the truths and the development. Finally, it ends of the response from Apple that is Apple refused to give any comments. Widely using of quotes and references is obviously seen in this article, as well, the hyperlinks can be seen at the end of the article which link to the original sources.

Similarly, the article of TIMES LIVE is well –organized by the cause, the development and the result of this story. Sufficient references and quotes are utilized in this article. It writes the news source which is from the news website thefirstpost.co.uk in the very first beginning.

However, compared with the one on SMH, there is no clear effect followed by the story, such as the response from Apple or Isaacs. In this case, I rate a little bit higher in the one on SMH rather than this article. Because the story told on SMH is more comprehensive, giving the audience the whole development of the story with a clear ending.
