Another key element in analyzing online articles, is the placement they receive on the featured page, since it is a technique from which the viewer or user is able to recognize the importance of the article.
The featured article on the hotel bombing, which was taken from the home page of the NY Times, was originally the top article. It was given a larger space on the web page, along with a photograph and a larger excerpt of the article.
At this moment however, the importance of this news story on the home-page has slipped down to spots, and is nothing more but a small headline and by-line underneath the newest two top stories.
