World news: IS oil targets in Syria

Today in English-class, we were going to find a piece of news that was written about in four online, international newspapers. The piece of news I chose was about the fact that US has hit IS oil targets in Syria. Here are the links to the different articles: 
BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, Foxnews. 

All of the websites had chosen different photos, however in common all of them were really dramatic and showed shooting and destroyed areas. However, both CNN and Foxnews had added short footages as well, and BBC and Al Jazeera used pictures of fighters. When it comes to headlines, it looks like the websites are trying to make them as dramatic as possible, just like when they decide which photos to use, and I believe these are important details to make the article more interesting.

The style of the language is quite the same, its really short and concrete, and all of the texts mostly include necessary facts. I would say that the piece of news on the websites is very detailed written to include all important information, and I think the presentations of the theme are extremely good. When it comes to sources, Al Jazeera's news article is only based on their own agencies, however Fox News used a man named Justin Fishel as well as The Associated Press. CNN has involved quite many sources like for instance CNN's Barbara Starr and many individuals or witnesses, however on BBC News' news article I couldn't find the list with sources.

Personally, my favorite news article was the one made by BBC News. It had a great overview, which made it easier to follow, and besides they included many interesting facts as well as a map that showed were the oil have been found. The piece of news was also not too long, so it didn't become boring reading it. However, I enjoyed reading all of the four news articles and believe this was an especially interesting subject.
