AIG Repays Loan
This is a very cut and dry article. The lede perfectly follows the classic 5 W and H format. It's not exciting, but if you consider the audience of this kind of article, it makes sense. Just by reading the first brief paragraph, I have a lot of information:
Who: AIG
What: announces they will repay loan
When: Monday
Where: Press release or interview
Why: they need to pay up!
How: Using proceeds from a debt sale
The article is pretty short overall and contains a lot of numbers, which can get a little confusing. This is the kind of article that is a quick, easy read for business persons who already have some knowledge about the bailout. There is very little explanation.
There are no quotes in this article, and I don't really see a need for them either. Since AIG "announced" this information, I am assuming that the writer culled the information from a recent press release and past articles.
