Nov. 5 - Don't WHINE that you cannot think of a story!

Today we are going to look at a reporter who does television news, yes, but he has compiled many awards and accolades. He also gets the last slot on Friday's CBS News, typically a feel-good, upbeat slot. Click here for an example.

But the most important thing about this reporter is that he believes that everyone has a story and he set out to prove it.

His process? He throws a dart at the map and then travels to the place the dart hit. THEN he randomly picks a name out of the local phone book to find his subject. So, then what happens?

Check the following out:

SOOOOO . . . . what are some key components of getting the story? How does he do this in your expert opinion? What does Harman do when he meets these people? Write up your thoughts and turn in today. (10 pts formative) Ms. Greer
