Intro to journalism 4/2/12

Today I spent some time going over how and why we conduct interviews and how to write down quotes properly. That’s all covered in a brief PowerPoint. After that presentation I had everyone re-do their partner interviews this time about ‘what you DID over spring break.’ The focus was on getting some quotes that you will be able to use in a brief write-up.

You’ll work tomorrow on crafting a brief write-up about your partner’s spring break. Near the end of class we discussed current events, some key items to focus on:

• Wisconsin primary tomorrow
• Pink slime controversy
• NCAA Final Four (men’s and women’s)
