Editor's Notes

  1. Cultivate Curiosity If you’re curious, someone else is, too Read, Look and Listen Pay attention to your world Follow Up and Plan Ahead Ask both what’s happened and what’s next Develop Stories from Topics A story idea is NOT the same as a topic
  2. You often start with a topic - then develop ideas. You often come up with more than 1 viable idea to have stories that compliment each other, as well as stand on their own.
  3. Who? What? When? Where? Why? Always ask “SO WHAT?” to determine newsworthiness
