Hard News Notes

[InvertedPyramidGIF.gif]Hard News Stories

- Around 600 words.
- Hard news stories come with a lead (when, where, what, who, how).
- Hard news story follows inverted pyramid.
- The 5 W's should show up in lead, in first two sentences, with summary.
- Body should involve opinions of interviewees as well as factual data and narrative.
- Maybe tape the interview, easy questions, write as much as you can get, read body language.
