Warren Buffet stated on Monday that the economy is improving but at a slow rate. The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today have all published a story on this issue today.

The Los Angeles Times published the story with the title "Warren Buffett says economy recovering at very slow rate, consumers still reluctant to spend". This newspaper was the only publication that included a picture in the story. The New York Times titled the story "Buffett Says Economy Recovering but at Slow Rate" and USA Today titled the story "Warren Buffett sees housing market bouncing back by 2011". All 3 stories had a similar title. However, I believe the New York Times did a better job in naming the story. It makes the reader want to read the entire story to learn more about why the economy is recovering at a slow rate.

All three articles started the story with an immediate identification lede. All 3 named "Billionaire Warren Buffet" to begin the lede.
