News Essentials

Brainstorming Think we have this one!

Evaluating a Story Idea Does this story have the following: Timeliness/Timelessness Proximity Prominence Impact/consequence Human Interest Conflict Uniqueness

Finding an Angle What do you want to say about the topic Ex: Topic: Budget Cuts Angle: What is the story?

Elements of Information Gathering Observation Interviewing Research

Observation Description--Use imagery to provide information for a story Ex: A vivid description of an interview setting to highlight your angle Detail -Be specific! Ex: soda vs. Diet Coke Dialogue--What a source says to other people and how they respond

Interviewing Basics Have a list of questions in mind. These should not be “yes” or “no” questions. Don’t be afraid to follow the conversation, but don’t let the subject evade or distract you from your purpose. Follow up to clarify any unclear statements. Accuracy is Crucial

Quotes Look For: Storytelling quotes Attention Grabbers Stand-alone quotes Avoid: Coach Quotes (Cliches) Vague Responses

Who to interview? The Main Subject This is who the news affects The Secondary Source Can verify or contradict statements made by main subject The Expert Someone to provide credibility to your story

Etiquette Make an appointment. Meet the subject on their turf Be early Dress Appropriately Bring all materials Verify Quotes Say Thank You!

Notes Review Notes soon after interview Follow Up! Save them!

Research Be aware of relevant facts or statistics Have some background knowledge (This can help you form questions and avoid asking silly ones.) Can lead to angles and verify that a story is worth telling

Credibility of Research Beware the internet! Have a list of trusted sites and a list of those that are off limits. Make sure sources are updated. Watch for bias
