To me, this story was an example of good journalism. The writer, David Kocieniewski made a conscious effort to explain what the story was about and what kind of impact it would have on the reputation of Rangel. Kocieniewski provided enough background to emphasize why the story was newsworthy and what elevated it above a level of sensationalism such as “Congressmen cheats the IRS.” At the same time, Kocieniewski mentions what kind of punishment Rangel could be facing and why he is not at risk of having any “federal tax liability.” For those that don't have a background in finance and taxes, Kocieniewski goes deep enough so that the reader understands what exactly is going on and allows the readers of the story, the citizens, to be able to take the events into account in any decisions that they may make later in their lives. For any evidence that is missing or that was not able to be included in the story, Kocieniewski explains why it is not present as a way to explain to the reader that an effort was made to acquire information that may have added to the understanding of the story and to assure that all avenues were explored and not simply overlooked in the interest of a deadline.
