STORY PITCHES

Overview

Everyone pitches two stories to the class, which will give feedback to help presenters decide which story to pursue as a final class project 


We'll also review how to outline a story, which is your assignment for next week.


Extra-credit assignment #2 is due today.

Workshop

  • While workshopping pitches, consider: Does the pitch have the four essential elements of an investigative story? Does it have a central question? Can the question be answered with evidence? Does it resonate? If not, why not?
  • We also create a practice outline of one of our previous read/watch stories
