story ideas
I will admit I have found it to be a bit difficult this time around to think of a few story ideas. Two that I am debating between doing myself are the WittPAC and this week's events by Women in Power. I'm not sure if that is exactly who is sponsoring this week's events but I think it would be a cool story to interview them and see how they think their week's events will impact the campus with all of the recently reported sexual assaults. The second idea I am thinking I might do is the group on campus, Witt Peace Alliance Club that I believe was just formed last year. I might need some more background info on them but I know they are hosting a movie night next Tuesday. I thought it would also be interesting to see how they are handling the sexual assaults as well as other safety concerns on campus, such as the armed man on Alumni Way this weekend. A third idea I thought could be fun was something that dealt with Halloween and how Witt students celebrate and maybe talk to people in Springfield to see what the city does to celebrate in a safe manner.

Good ideas here. How about a story on Witt's overall reaction to the sexual assaults? Torch stories, speaker in chapel, fliers, Dean Kelly's emails, etc....
ReplyDeleteHalloween stories are an annual event for most local papers, and it's hard coming up with a less-than-cliche angle each year. How Witt kids celebrate sounds like it would interest your readers. Maybe a story on costumes? Who's wearing what, where will they get the costumes, popular themes, how far should sexy outfits or questionable tastes go, etc.
Mac, I was just thinking of maybe doing a story on the Gonzo Theater. I learned about it in my theater class and I think it could be interesting to interview the people who get their play to be selected.
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to do the story on the Gonzo Theater.
