On May 26, the Associated Press posted on the Salon about the attacks made against an off-duty Sodlier, Lee Rigby. The article begins with straightforward information on the killing which occurred this past Saturday. The author then explains a bit more about the attack by mentioning the possible suspects and what's their current situation - some detained, others being watched in hospitals due to injuries that were caused during the murder of Rigby. The article ends with more information on another suspect, which is not only being charged of murder, but also of terrorism offenses.
The purpose of the article is to inform the reader and to show the tragedy as something tangible. Although the author maintains an impartial point of view throughout the whole article, the usage of the video as a media device to show how explicit the murder shows the inconscient intention of the author to shock and impress the audience.
