On Thursday March 27, 2014 the Washington Post published an article above the fold by reporter Scott Wilson titled "Obama Presses Europe on Russia" with the subtitle, "He wants NATO strengthened." The article was obviously very relevant to current news since U.S. relations with Russia have been making headlines given the recent uprising in Ukraine. The dateline was from Brussels, Belgium and reported from the President's visit to Brussels to deliver a speech at Palais des Beaux-Arts.
The article was formatted in typical pyramid style with basic information up front, with a very relevant lede and the author paraphrasing the events. The fourth paragraph was a quote from the speech by President Obama.
Overall, the piece was interesting with a semi-local bent given Washington, DC's role in the global playing field of world events.

Kristina, I wonder why the press always refers to Obama as Mr. Obama? Former Presidents always wear their title. President Carter just talked about this last evening, e.g. the annexation of Crimea. I've been glued to the news...
