erm, I have a weird long-shot of a question. Give it a shot?

[NewOrleans]

I'm looking for a certain *type* of article.

It would start off with a human interest story-- like, say, an article starts off talking about the terrible story of someone killed in a drunk driving crash and how the accident happened.  Then the middle part of the article is facts about the topic, like drunk driving stats and laws and such.  And then at the end of the article, it talks about the opening story again and perhaps tells how it ended or where those people are now.

I KNOW I've read articles like this but can't seem to think of a specific one.

**does not have to be drunk driving-- that's just an example I threw out.  But human interest is good.

I know this is a long shot.  But since you are amazing, I thought I'd ask.

Is this for your students?

I feel like that's the type of writing for a lot of medical articles.

I think there's been a lot of those in regards to texting and driving.

I don't have one off the top of my head, but here's a good resource about that type of article:

I learned this in j-school as the WSJ style.

The Atlantic uses that formula a lot. Usually it has a human interest then facts then usually more about the human interest. Let me see if I can find one.

Also, despite the obvious biases in Krakaur books, he uses this too for his novels/books.

I read this one recently: highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/they-burn-witches-here/

I feel like "the boy named..." talking about the boy who grew up in extreme poverty, was like that to. I can't remember what the title of that one was.

That one about drowning not looking like drowning comes to mind
