Today’s workshop covered feature stories from Gage and Brady – many of the comments from the group centered around gaining more student perspectives and working on finding the focus or angle of the story. One comment from Nick that was impactful for both Gage’s story and our group as a whole was how he suggested finding someone to talk to who “has the power to make those decisions.” He brought up a crucial point in how the work of the journalist has to find a variety of individuals who either have access to the people in powerful positions that might really impact a story or who are themselves decision makers. Another helpful comment from today’s class came from Kristen while we workshopped Brady’s story. She suggested how his capitalization in the headline wasn’t consistent and even provided a possible solution or example that he could look to for reference. Sometimes, when we are nearing the end of our drafting process or caught up in the content, it can be so nice to bring a quick fix to our attention.
