The Orlando Sentinel's article on Hugo Chavez's health was very well written. Chavez, Venezuela's President, has been dealing with a lot of health issues lately. He underwent his fourth surgery for cancer in December and is now undergoing a second round of chemotherapy to control the disease. According to recent reports by Vice President Nicolas Maduro who said that this set of treatments are going to be 'difficult' for Chavez, Chavez still remains in a 'good state of mind.'

I thought that the article was very well written and provided accurate information. I also liked that the Orlando Sentinel did a story about Chavez's health, because they covered something that was international news. Many Florida citizens are of Hispanic descent, so I am sure that this article was informative for them. The article also stated that Chavez is on a respirator after his December surgery, because he was having difficulty breathing on his own. 

There have been articles written about Chavez that are saying that he should step down because he is not capable of leading the country anymore. There have also been articles reporting that Chavez had died and that his family didn't want to inform the public. 

The Orlando Sentinel made the article easy to read and provided background information on Chavez's health. The design of the article was also like a traditional article, with a picture at the top. The article focused on Chavez's health and didn't go off topic. It also had a good quote from the Vice President of Venezuela on the situation. The Orlando Sentinel produced a newsworthy piece.
