JRN 200: Your Monday 9/26 Homework

Another practice story: please give yourself 90 minutes to read, write and review the  story.

Here is the assignment, slugged ROBBERY:


Ch. 10, ex. 3, #1, p. 231. Slug: ROBBERY. Please write a story based on the provided information. For this story, the store's name is O-Mart. It is located in Haslett. Police officers are with the Meridian Township Police Department. The district attorney is the Ingham County District Attorney. The store clerk attends Lansing Community College. All other spellings and names are correct as presented in the text. Your deadline is 9 a.m. Tuesday.


Also, please read Chapter 16 and 17 (p. 329-364) in Reporting For The Media, 11th Edition, by Tuesday morning.


Plus, please be sure to read the latest blog posts, posted here. It's important that you do, to make sure that you're on-point with the main points of the readings. The posts also include greater detail and examples of ways to organize the body of a story, so the latest readings are especially important to what we're doing today. Please make sure you're reading the blog on a daily basis, and checking for updates every weekday. 


A reminder: virtually everything we do in this class -- including getting assignments -- revolves around the blog. It is YOUR responsibility to keep up with the latest blog postings, and to read each and every one, and act accordingly.


The blog will be updated every weekday, no later than 9 a.m. And if you have problems getting to a computer, the blog is also formatted to be read on your smart phones, using the same URL of http://jrn200isfunblog.blogspot.com/.
