Chapter 9 Part 2 Journalism

Point of View

Creative Beginnings

  • Fill stories with gold coins.
  • Scatter interesting bits throughout the story that make the readers want to keep reading.

• The vantage point from which the reader sees the action. Usually, reporters use third person (objective, unbiased narrator).

• Rarely use first or second person (I , me, you).

• Stories seem more credible in third person.

Structure of Investigative Reporting

  • Must be well-organized.
  • Usually avoid inverted pyramid style.
  • Don’t want readers to stop.
  • Try to create intrigue/suspense.
  • Creative beginnings: start near the end.
  • Begin with an anecdote: a short account of some interesting/humorous incident.

Creating Sense of Place

  • Must be able to write about where event happened.
  • Capture the place = sights, sounds, smells.

Writing in Scenes

  • Stories should have sense of people, place, time, and drama.
  • Narrative = most typical structure.
  • Beginning = draws in.
  • Middle = suspense builds.
  • End = climax/resolution = most important.
