Chapter 6
Chapter 6 is based on news stories which directly is related to the first paper assignment we have received in class. There were many interesting and helpful pointers in the chapter. The section entitled Understanding News Stories was probably the most helpful to me. I have no previous experience in journalism, which makes me nervous about the news story assignment.
Another helpful source in Chapter 6 was Research Paths. This whole section helped me understand the process of writing a news story. Interviewing has never been my best element of the writing process. I feel as if I always think of better questions after the interview has already been conducted. Also, I sometimes feel as if I pick the wrong details to place into what I’m writing.
All in all writing this news story will be interesting. I hope my final product is much better than what I am expecting it to be.
