Feat. Writing Article #3

1. Commemorative Story
For a story like this I would write something about either 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina. The people that I would interview would be the survivors of the stories and ask more questions about what happened since they were there at the time it was happening. Even talk to and gather information from people who lost family members sue to the incident, how have they overcome the situation and what they felt that time of year.
2. Medical story
3. Number Story
For a number story based on the topic I would gather information reaching out to people or finding out for myself. I read an article that numbered the top ten movies in the year 2008. I would have to interview people and get there reactions on the information as well as looking over the movies that made the list. Another thing is I would have to survey the movies chosen, again using the sources from the people.
4. Business story
If I were to write an article about a new business opening up, I would gather my information from the main source which is the owner. Asking questions as to why there choosing to open this particular business and if they feel it will be successful. I would also gather my information from the people around the neighborhood and even asking other established business owners how they feel about the business opening up.
5. Explanatory story
6. Historical story
7. Overview story
8. Profile story
In a profile story I would gather background information on the person first, making sure before I do the article on he/she that I know a little bit about there background and history. Based on the article being written I would use sources needed. For example, if I did an profile article on the new football coach coming to Eastern University I would gather my information up from the students that attend the university and the football players.
9. Odd occupation story
10. How to….
It seems like everywhere I turn around people are trying to loose weight, I remember seeing an article called How To Loose Weight before summer, with an article like this I would again interview the people who reads the article and actually use it daily. Get sources from the food, looking at what makes what there eating different from others and how there losing weight by eating it. Ask the readers if they feel this information is helpful also interview those who do follow these tips and is successful with loosing the weight. Asking if it really helped and do they encourage others?
