Cardio Striptease Hits It Big In Milwaukee Fitness Center

This article could almost cover both sports and entertainment. While it does have a bit of a feature feel to it, the article tackles an issue in a conservative state in a responsible manner. There are good quotes used to emphasize that it's just a work out and isn't leading to any manner of moral break down. They also cover what other unusual classes have been offered and what the road blocks for this programs success have been.

One thing I liked in particular is how the writer covered other areas and fitness centers, besides just the ones in Milwaukee. We heard about California, Illinois and New York in addition to Wisconsin. The variety of sources and the way this topic was handled make this a reporting piece, instead of a feature article. The piece also captures the moment by using descriptive story telling for a lead in.
