Feature story critique
The feature story written by Alan Semuels revolves around the homelessness issue in New York City. Specifically, she talks about an element of homelessness that is often underlooked. She does a great job using a primary source in former homeless individuals who were able to overcome such an obstacle (McCrea and Calvin Bennett) and using a source in someone who manages one of the supportive-housing buildings (Jeff Nemetsky) how the solution she mentions can mitigate the issue.
With respect to the lead, improvements can be made. Even though the piece talks about homelessness, her main point of a potential solution to homelessness was not addressed. This would have allowed the reader to remain interested in the piece by
