Today we are going to start thinking about writing news articles. It is best to get a good interview first. That is key.
Last summer, Mia Manning and I attended journalism camp at Washington and Lee University. The students were to do a story on the farmers market. They knew no one and did not know what to expect.
Click here for audio of that piece. You will see that most students dread approaching people to get the interview. But honestly, that is where the work is AND the fun. You have a license as a journalist to approach anyone pretty much and you learn so much.
You are going to start your reporting career now.
