The New York Times article “Amanda Burden Wants to Remake New York. She has 19 Months Left,” by Julie Satow was very well-written. What I enjoyed most about the article was the different points of view Satow highlighted. She mentioned not only Burden’s propositions for New York City, but also those of her opponents, which made for a good article. For example, the opinions of Miguel Acevedo, president of the tenants’ association at the Robert Fulton Houses, added more dimension to the story. It showed that Burden does not only have time against her, she also has representatives from different organizations against her too. It lets the readers of the article know that Burden’s job is a very ambitious one.

I also enjoyed how the article was written in terms of style. Satow did a good job introducing Amanda Burden. Listing Burden’s accomplishments in the beginning of the story allowed Satow to transition to Burden’s roadblocks smoothly.
