there are no definitive data in this article, it is more just generally talking about the affects of covid and doesn't really focus on the data part. more of a way to generally inform people on this subject without having much jargon that only a select handful would understand
In a recent news story,
there are multiple hyperlinks scattered throughout this article, but they aren't specifically added to certain places, they are added when want to reference something without particularly explaining it. They are presented as the words in the sentence and just bring you straight to the article or guidelines that they are referencing
PPE
the only vocabulary that is slightly "confusing" in this article is certain acronyms that I personally don't know off the top of my head
In light of current events like the viral threat of the COVID-19 pandemic and the chemical agent threat of fentanyl and other derivatives as a result of the opioid epidemic, we suggest that there are
this is passive voice, it is referring to covid as the subject of the sentence, and the action of it spreading and affecting other things is in the background of the sentence
Stay safe.
the whole article is written in present tense and in third person

this is where all the hyperlinks are, or the numbers scattered throughout the article lead back to this section to provide more clarity on sections that need some more background information. presented as websites for the most part
Also on the internet are several organizations that promotethemselves as cold case group.
The whole paper is in third person and did not switch (or at least I didn't catch it)
.
After reading through the whole article there are little to no words that were out of the norm for understanding. there was no specific words that stood out to me that I had to look up or something like that, everything was manageable
some cold caseinvestigators regularly present their cases to colleagues from otheragencies in order to get a second opinion.
passive voice, the investigator is the subject and the actions around it are more important than the subject at hand
It was a horrific crime.
this part of the article goes into past tense compared to the rest of the article, this is describing a past event that is relevant to the article (to prove a point).

The article is structured somewhat similar to the IMRaD format but only had the abstract section and have numbered headings indication what part they are talking about now.
The focuswill be on the investigation of old, unsolved cases, commonly referred to as cold cases, because of theincreasing focus on forensics in all aspects of the investigation and the number of television shows thatfeature such cases.
This is the basic idea that the article will go more in depth on and the individual headings have been highlighted
The CSI effect on cold case investigations
title is short and conscious and uses simple language; which i'm going to assume is to not deter people from initially looking at the article. Sometimes a long title will make people just skip right over it and look for something that doesn't look as confusing.
