Need 200 plus story ideas?


We all have the problem of reporters saying they don’t think a story is interesting. That is the problem with finding a story and making it interesting. This is exactly what Lori Brooks and Dan Reimold talked about in the session “200 plus story ideas;” Ideas ranged from odd news, student life, behind the scenes stories and a day in the life of an interesting person around campus. A new trend on campuses is the idea of a News Mob instead of a Flash Mob, which covers all aspects of one story, from video and photography, to stories and first person stories. You could come up with stories of popular trends, vanishing trends, or alternative lifestyles. 

One of the things that I would definitely enjoy bringing back to The CHIMES was a story idea of taking every letter of the alphabet and create a story about it. So look forward to reading these in upcoming issues of The CHIMES.
