Articles listed at the bottom of the main article includes the personalization aspect of P-I-C-K

At the end of the article, there were suggested links for other articles that I, as a reader can read. The articles are personalized for me because I read more about crimes. 

The ability to be able to watch the news clip and post the article on several social media networks creates interactivity 

The article includes the news clip about the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau. This creates interactivity in the article because there is a news clip about the article itself. One is able to watch the clip as a supplement to reading the article. There are also icons to post the article on several social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and also emailing it to a friend if one chooses to. 

Although the photographs in the article create contiguity in the article, they are not 100% effective

This article includes photographs of key parts of the article. The article includes photographs of the captured girls, a mother of one of the captured girls holding a picture of her daughter, and the photo of the leader of Boko Haram with the flag of al-Qaeda behind him.

Although the photographs create contiguity, I do not think that they are effective. The photographs are not in the right place. The photograph of the mother of one of the captured girls should not have been in the paragraph about what the Boko Haram leader was wearing in the video. This photograph should have been in the second paragraph about the grief of the parents of the kidnapped girls. The photograph of the Boko Haram leader with the al-Qaeda flag in the background should be in the seventh paragraph that describes the photo itself in the article. The photograph of the kidnapped girls should be in the first paragraph of the article that talks about the over 200 kidnapped girls. These photographs would have been effective if they had been in the correct places.

The advertisement is not very effective in making the reader understand the article
This article uses personalization, interactivity, and contiguity, there are, however some  kick-outs such as this advertisement. There are several things wrong with this advertisement such as the fact that it is in Spanish, and it also had nothing to do with the article. Other than the advertisement, there were no kick outs in the article.
