Today: Finish your practice infographics and post to your
blog.
No class Monday.
Your assignment for Wednesday is to come up with your story
idea for your first story (cover an event or, optionally, write an “explainer”
piece). The “explainer” piece is simply that – you “explain” a major issue in
the news or how an organization works; you need to gather quotes from an
expert. So if you were to do an explainer on, say, a major political issue (the
debt limit, for example), you might talk to a political science professor about
the politics of it.
On Wednesday, in class, write an “advance.” The advance is
simple if you’re covering some sort of event. If you’re doing an explainer
piece, you’ll need to write a short advance highlighting an upcoming event or issue
connected with your issue. (For example, what’s next on the debt ceiling
debate.)
After you write the advance, you’ll write a story about your
event or explainer, in class, on Wednesday, Jan. 30. On Monday, Jan. 28, you’ll
do your infographic that will accompany your story.
So bring to class on Wednesday, Jan. 23: A write-up of two
or three sentences that tells me what story you are going to do (to write in
class on Jan. 30), plus tells me what your infographic will be about, with
ideas for links.
