Making your news stories come alive

We report scoops. but we tell stories. Ditch the old “inverted pyramid” style except for breaking news. Build scenes, not paragraphs.

THE PILLARS OF GOOD STORY TELLING

Your characters have to go on a journey and you need to take your readers/viewers/listeners with them.
You need a narrative arc with a beginning, middle and end and a mounting tension.
You need a focus that makes it clear what the story is about, why I should care - and helps you throw out the clutter.
