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.
