Leslie Cheung Teresa Teng Chosen as Top 20 Global Music Icons on CNN

The online news story I read this week, being published on August 14, 2010 on TVB News World web site. The title is "Leslie Cheung Teresa Teng Chosen as Top 20 Global Music Icons on CNN". The writer is Admin. Here is the story.

In terms of content structure, firstly, the story illustrates that CNN is conducting an online poll called the "Top Five Global Music Icons"，on which Leslie Cheung and Teresa Teng are selected for the Top 20 world famous prominent singers in the past 50 years. Then, it pointes out that they are the only two Asian stars that were chosen and they are on par with western stars like the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna and the Rolling Stones. Finally, it shows the date of publishing poll results. Although it has only five sentences, it has clearly explained the issue. Of course, if it could explain more details such as who is the voters, how many people participated in the vote, etc., it would be more perfect.


In the matter of values, the story has timeliness, because the poll results will be out on August 25, 2010, but the storywas released on August 14, 2010. Also, it may cause great concern, because Leslie Cheung and Teresa Teng are superstars in China and they have a  huge number of fans.

Finally, the online page has the main story, two photos and the message area. It does not include related links which can help readers to receive more information about the event.

In conclusion, I think it is a short but clear story. And it,will lead widespread attention to the activity.
