The Wall Street Journal
On Tuesday, BP PLC had a fourth-quarter rise in net profit of 30 percent, and they resumed the quarterly dividend at seven cents per share. Downsizing in the United States and other new changes will begin their year of recovery. The article is good because it gets the readers' attention by a positive announcement and then continues that positivity by explaining that this year will be their recovery year. The story could have been covered from a different angle if the article were solely written around the "year of recovery" idea. Naming the article around the increased postings makes one think that that idea will be the main point; however, much of the article discusses the plan for 2011.
I take a great interest in this article because the oil spill greatly affected my home state Mississippi. Since the initial breaking news, I have followed the "BP Story."
Thanks for watching BP, which needs it.
