I have so valued the reporting of these journalists laid off by WAMU today. I know the official word is that this is about focusing on the audio product, but these journalists were GREAT on the RADIO! ...in addition to what they published on DC-ist. Their voices are WAMU too.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, energetic
Written for: Product teams
