Assignment for Monday, September 29

Assignment for September 29:

Choose a newsmaker on campus – the college president, a faculty member, a student government candidate, missionary in residence, summer missionary, student leader, athlete, etc. – and interview that person on a topic important to your school. Write a story, two pages maximum, double-spaced, based on the interview, using at least two other sources to make the story complete. Use correct AP style.

In class next week, we will review a sampling of your stories, discussing how the interviews went, what problems arose, and how you dealt with them. What would you do differently if you were to re-do the interview?

Next week, come prepared to take notes on the in-class presentation I will give, followed by a short Q&A for any clarification needed. You will write the story for submission on October 6, as though it were for the Warsaw Times-Union readership.
