Here, is and article about the presidential debate from last night in which the Trump says he had a great debate against Kamala Harris while his allies supposedly think otherwise.
- Talk to people on campus and get their opinions of the debate
- Ask Donald Trump why he thinks the debate was a 3 on 1
- Speak with Kamala about how she thinks the debate went
- Talk to some colleagues of Trump and get their opinions
- Talk with Trump about whether his preparation played a part in his performance
I think talking to students on campus and getting their opinions of the presidential debate is the feature that I would be most likely to do because of proximity. Right now we are on a college campus and I’m sure there are a lot of students of have varying opinions about the outcome of the debate. We all know that Trump wouldn’t admit losing the debate no matter what, so I would want to see if his opinions on the debate would be in line with the majority of viewers.
These would all count as second-day stories; reactions to the debate. There are feature possibilities that don’t require talking to someone. You could do a reaction article as you watch, or after the debate. Did it change your mind? You could also do an analysis of the responses. I saw an article by a body language expert that described what she saw during the debate.
