Ms. Greer is watching!
So we have 4 summatives due this quarter and this is no mystery, they are news packages. We need to be better at feeding the news beast, our dearly beloved, www.jfknewfrontier.com.
On Wednesday, I will send you a schedule of the due dates.
Again, that is a 300-word story that has a great headline, a compelling picture that draws in your reader, and some kind of media (audio, video, slideshow).
I cannot stress enough how much easier this all is if you actually interview at least three people who are close to you story.
Tomorrow is the election.
Listen to this interview I just heard about voters. It is sound rich, you can see the people talking and you get inside their heads a bit. Even if you do not agree with the people interviewed, you will agree that the journalist helps us see how complicated this election and politics and peoples' attitudes are. Your job as a journalist it to show the issues and be objective. Listen how the reporter asks questions, how he humanizes the people he talks to. Be like that guy. LISTEN.
Write up your reactions to this and turn into sub. Compare the two voters. What did you notice about the way the reporter did his work?
Also,
check out this NYTIMES photographer about covering the Climate March in NYC that I also shot. Why does "technology is not your friend" sound familiar?
10 pts formative
NO LATE WORK!!
