Pink In The Rink! 10/25/12

I love this story! Mostly because I strongly support cancer awareness of all kinds. Cancer awareness hits close to home for me. This is a great, newsworthy story. Its the kind of story that is inspirational, involves a lot of people and for a good cause. The writer has a good use of quotes by the “main character.” The information is well spread out through the story; he uses the upside down pyramid well.
This is also a good broadcast story. It would be easy to summarize for radio (etc..). It can be short and clean cut. The material is easy to understand for people who have never heard about it, as well.

This would definitely be good TV. Lots of color. It’s great that attention is being given to breast cancer, but some of it is simply PR. I saw a story last week that only 5 percent of the money raised by the NFL actually goes to cancer research. Somebody is making money on what is labeled a charity.
