         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Vocabulary choices. </strong></p><p>The article uses a "loud" vocabulary. "The perfect storm", "disaster", and "Will LA learn the lessons" - the heading starts with descriptive words that emphasize the need for action. It starts with a story and is full of quotations. The article calls for action by providing information on housing and land use, preparations, and defense. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Photo choices. </strong></p><p>The outlet provides lots of live photos of the fire, the destroyed places, ruins, and firefighters in action, besides maps and graphics. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Selection of sources. </strong></p><p>Experts, sociologists, representatives of the California Center for Sustainable Communities, residents, local photographers, and satellites. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Target audience</strong>. </p><p>Political figures, international organizations, environmental activists, and departments of climate change and sustainability. While it has a more "call for action" content, it can also be a choice of ordinary people, who want to stay up-to-date with the case. </p>]]></description>
