First beat story reminder

Hello. Just a reminder that your first beat story is due this Thursday. Following the reporting suggestions in your textbook and from class lectures will help you develop good story ideas. Remember that pitches need specific information (review the handout on pitches) and must be approved in advance.

Some suggestions from your readings & class:


Have you followed the reporting suggestions in the book? How much time have you spent reporting in the community? Have you met with the city manager? Have you met with the council members? Looked at the condition of the infrastructure? Looked at ADA applications? Attended meetings? Checked out city meeting minutes for the past year? Looked at the committee meetings minutes?
