The reason for writing articles is to communicate the writer's thoughts. Really, that's all it really is!
This style of writing conveys what is on the authors mind when they wrote the article. And people pick up on that to. If the article is written poorly, it's easy to pick up on. So make sure you have all your thoughts together before you write it.
The first step when writing is that the communicated ideas be presented distinctly and clear in the mind of the writer. You don't have any right to expect your thoughts to be understood unless you can spell out clearly what it is you are thinking.
Consider the works of the Bible for instance. This is the greatest work of writing ever and it doesn't beat around the bush when conveying an idea. Why? Because it's conveyed with conviction. And not just any conviction. It's written with a sincere and inspired conviction.
Ok, so you aren't writing an epistle or a prophesy, but you can take a lesson from it. The men who penned the scriptures first made sure they were inspired. What is your inspiration? Before writing your article you ought to first consider what to say, and then how to say it. The writer must first make sure that the ideas they want to express are clear in their own mind.
One thing that might help you to write a better article is to use the KISS rule. Keep It Simple Silly. Try using the simplest words to get the message across. Then using simple words, develop simple sentences. Ever heard the expression: "The more you complicate the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain"?
Now if we could just get lawyers, politicians, and law makers to use this principle.
