Exercise 7.j

I think the format of the paper is most like a column in a music magazine. This is because of the pictures, the large captions, and the text being situated in two columns. If not for these, it would look like a standard research paper. The text itself doesn't lend anything unique to the paper as it is black Times New Roman. I think that this paper would be better fit for a newspaper because of its length, but the pictures would have to be removed which would make it lose much of its appeal. The pictures in the paper give the reader a chance to take a break from reading so much text. The first picture is included in the paper as a hook. If the pictures and bold text were taken away readers would be less likely to be interested in it, especially since it is so lengthy. With the pictures readers will at least skim the article to read the descriptions under the pictures.
