The College Perspective by Lindsey

The part of the process I put the most effort into for Article #1 was collecting all the information for the story and finding detailed quotes. I wish I had spent more time on the format of the article itself and figuring out how to make the story flow better. I revised the story twice, but could have used more time editing.

The most difficult part of writing this article was deciding what to put in the headline and lead to make them interesting but informative and the next important things for the beginning paragraphs. I’m used to other types of writing where you give the background story first, so it was an adjustment trying to figure out how to get the best information first. I’m not used to summarizing in the beginning, it almost feels like I’m giving too much away.
