Write a good lede. Do not use the lede simply to say that you interviewed the person or who she is. Instead, use the lede to tell readers the most interesting thing that this person said or did. Identify the person only briefly in the lede, using the full name.

In the second or third paragraph, identify the person more fully and give a sentence or two of biographical information that’s relevant to your story.

Put several direct quotations in the story, but most of it should be your paraphrases of what the person said and your background information and explanations.

Your first direct quotation should be no lower than the fourth paragraph of the story — probably higher. But don’t use a full- sentence direct quotation as the lede.

If the person says something that sounds grand and glittering, ask her what it means. Get details, evidence, examples, anecdotes. Put it in plain language. Don’t get dazzled by a quote and then fail to explain it fully to your reader.

Encourage the person to tell detailed, colorful stories (anecdotes) that illustrate the points he is making. Readers remember stories.

Attribute everything the person said to that person, whether it’s a direct quotation or a paraphrase. Often the way to do this is to conclude a sentence with a comma, followed by “Jones said” or “she said.”

Your only required source for this story is the person you are interviewing, but feel free to quote additional sources. (In real life, a one-source story is not acceptable. You’d need at least three sources for a story of any length.)

Use correct Associated Press style. Use short sentences and short paragraphs.

In every story, including this one, identify all students with these four pieces of information: full name, hometown, class rank (junior, senior, etc.) and major. For example, you could say that John Doe is a sophomore sport and fitness management major from Hahira, Georgia.

The first time you mention a person, give her full name. From that point on, call her by her last name. Do not repeat the first name unless you are trying to avoid confusion about two people who have the same last name.

You should not write in Q&A format. Instead, write a story about what the person said.

Your reader doesn’t care about the sequence of your questions and answers. Don’t organize your story in chronological order. Instead, organize it logically. In general, the most important and interesting information should be highest in the story.

Keep yourself out of the story. In most cases, you don’t need to tell the reader what questions you asked; just tell the person’s answers. Write in third person. Do not use “I” or “we” except inside a quotation.

For general information, you might want to ask questions such as these:· What is your leadership position?· What is your greatest accomplishment related to your position?· What are the requirements for your position?· What traits must a person have to be successful in your position?· What do you hope to accomplish next as a leader?· What are your suggestions for someone who wants to be a leader?· What tips would you pass on to the leader who follows you in this position?But your job is not done until you have found and written a story that is likely to interest most readers. Find out what problems (conflicts) the subject has faced, and how he or she resolved those problems. Get details by asking follow-up questions. Keep the reader captivated; don’t put the reader to sleep.Your job is not to do a puff piece that makes someone out to be a hero, nor is it to do a hatchet job that exposes all his flaws. Your job is to tell an honest story that serves your reader.Follow these guidelines when writing:· Your lede should reveal something that the person said or did that’s interesting or newsworthy. (Do not start by saying that the person was interviewed.)· Keep yourself entirely out of the story. Don’t use “I.” Don’t tell what the questions were unless it’s needed for clarity.· Keep your opinions entirely out of the story. Instead, give facts — detailed facts.· Don’t write in Q&A format. Instead, write a narrative with mostly your words and a few selected quotations.· Attribute everything the person said to him or her. (See the sample story in the tinted block on Page 85 of “Inside Reporting.”)· Put interesting details and narratives in your story. Don’t put the reader to sleep. Make the story so interesting that the reader can’t put it down.Your story must:· Contain 300 to 500 words.· Use correct AP style.· Be indented and double-spaced according to the instructions you have been given.· Include at least one hyperlink. For example, you could provide a link to the website of the leader’s organization or a link to a website that the leader has found helpful in achieving his or her goals.Put your name at the beginning of the file name, and identify the story as “Story 2.”Criteria for grading will include research, writing, lede, organization, mechanics (such as grammar and AP style), and whether you follow directions.

My Story 2 (Modify my article) The Chinese traditional Spring Festival is coming soon. The Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese and represents the beginning of the new year. This is exciting for Chinese! Cao JIAJIA made a huge contribution to Troy University’s Chinese Spring Festival Gala. Cao JIAJIA is the minister of arts department of Chinese student union. February 5, 2018 I interviewed Cao Jiajia at Troy University. Because this year’s Troy University’s Chinese New Year’s party director is her. She think she’s greatest accomplishment related to her position is become the director of Chinese New Year party 2018. Cao Jiajia position also has many requirements, such as; strong organizational skills, a high degree of aesthetic ability, love of art. But Cao Jiajia as an art student, these are basic requirements for her. She said her dream is to be a true director. One day can publish her own work. She give some suggestions for someone who wants to be a leader. First, be confident and believe in your abilities. Second, study hard and never give up. Third, stick to your dreams. She have some tips would pass on to the leader who follows her in this position. For example, read some good books and watch good movies to improve art level. Exchange more with colleagues and accept different opinions. Cao Jiajia shared a small story of work to us. She said it was her first time to work as director of the show, which made her very nervous. She thinks she’s prepared, but things are not going well. During a rehearsal, she and the actors clashed because of the show’s time. The actor wants to lengthen the show time but she does not agree because the show is not free to change the time. The actor’s attitude is also very bad, which makes her very angry, there is no good coordination of this issue. Later, she went home to take the initiative to call the actor to apologize, hoping to calmly solve the problem. She said because she believes that as a director need to have a sense of reflection, first of all know how to find a problem from their own body. Strive to correct themselves. At the same time can’t give up their own principles. This is a very pleasant interview and hopefully the Chinese New Year Gala will be held smoothly.
