Find an event that interests you, attend and write it up as a 800-word news story suitable for publication in a local newspaper or news website, paying attention to news-writing principles. (It should not be a faithful account of what was said, presented in chronological order, rather it should be written in news style, explaining who, what, when, where and structured in inverted pyramid style. If multiple people are speaking you don’t have to give them equal space unless it is necessary for balance. You are writing for the reader, not providing an account of the talk. Ask yourself what you would tell a friend about the talk/panel. That is probably a good lead.) Your story must include quotes from at least one interview conducted for this assignment.
