I'm pretty disappointed with the substance and consistency of the fashion section in the two online newspapers I've been covering. I know fashion isn't the most important topic to cover daily but weekly at least. The articles are so far apart it's barely worth ever checking fashion news in the newspaper. This is what magazines like Vogue are for.

LA Times

"Coming soon to prime time-A Walmart Clothing Line"

This article starts out with an immediate identification of who, where, and why. It is an adequately written article but a little scattered in information. The article gives a lot of information after you get past re-reading the first two paragraphs to understand what it is about. Wal-Mart is hooking up with a big name brand called Metro 7 for affordable yet stylish clothing in Wal-Mart. The article goes on to give facts about sales in the past year and gives stats and numbers. There is one weak quote near the end of the article.

NY Times

There was no article on fashion today. Most articles in the fashion section were based around new trends, night life, and food.
