This article, Globalization relatively kind to Capital Region, was about how globalization in New York has affected the cities upstate.  The words were chosen to give a 'strictly business' feel.  You can kind of get this feeling from the lines "which they've leveraged to build their technology sector" and "manufacturing here is largely export-oriented".

You can also get the feeling that the article was written specifically for people that know about the business world.  This is a different feel from most of the articles in the newspaper these days, which are written at level that most people can understand easily.  You can see this in the lines "fared better under globalization" and "'...enjoys  the stabilizing economic benefits of the state capital workforce.'"
