1. Inspirational articles - These are articles that that teach people, inspire them, are positive or engaging in a human interest sort of way. They are typically true to life stories, even if the identifying facts have been changed to protect people's reputations.
2. Experimental articles - This article serves up an experiment of some sort that that is undertaken to find the answer to some problem or mystery. This is a practical implementation piece for some aspect of the topic that readers love to read. They want to know: What happens when you actually undertake the theories and put them into practice?
3. How-to articles - These articles give step-by-step directions to solve a very specific, and often narrowly focused, problem. Like, "How To Create Curtains Without Sewing A Stitch."
4. Informative articles - These articles are similar to how-to articles in that they seek to explain a specific issue, they just don't walk the reader through the steps to resolve it specifically. Instead, they might focus on more general terms, while providing facts to support that issue being discussed and why it is of relevance.
5. Reviews - A review is an honest opinion of some product or service that is written to benefit the reader, not the seller of that product or service. It should explain to the readers why the product is important, what it does, and the way it compares to other products on the market.
6. People Profiles - People love to read about other people, but they don't necessarily want to hear everything. The profiles you write should include interesting information to engage the reader, but lack a full-fledged interview feel. So, the profile is more like a brief synopsis of a personal interview, showing only the major highlights.
7. Resource articles - This category includes person, places, or things that people want to investigate themselves but don't have the time. They are very popular with travel sites that want the top 10 restaurants, things to do, or even performances to see in a particular city or travel venue.

Quote:- Speaking to the Sunday Times, frontman Gerard Way admitted that band scrapped a first attempt at the record after deciding to be "extremely brutal" about which material to include.
"There are songs that, if we'd been talking a year ago, would have been the first and second singles, but now no longer exist. We rewrote the record," Way declared.
Analysis:-This quote from the NME website 'My Chemical Romance: 'Danger Days…' could be our 'last big adventure'' is written in an informal way as the writer uses words such as 'scrapped' and using the artists last name to address him, this makes the readers feel closer to the artist as if he is a friend. The way the journalist structured the article was through short paragraphs including lots of quotes, making it easy for fans to read and understand, also making the reader feel like they are part of the conversation. The structure is a basic interview, the interviewer describes what is happening and places quotes where needed.
This article is a 'people profile' as explained below, it highlights the key information you would want to know about this person including quotes and words from the journalist to piece things together to make it easier to understand.
