It begins with a story lead, bringing the reader in on an emotional level. Then it describes the issue, and finally, it concludes.
The story reported on the final days of the Polaroid camera by Kodak is one of the few stories that are picture-perfect (and I'm not just talking instant snapshots). Not only does reporter Jacque Wilson structure the story almost perfectly, but she peppers the article with quotes to evoke nostalgia in the readers, claiming the Polaroid camera causes memories to form in front of your eyes, or describing the little box as magic.
There aren't words to describe this article, but take a look at it, because if it were a picture, it would definitely be worth a thousand words.
