Now that you've done one lede-writing homework assignment, it's time for another one. Yay, right? Please write ledes based on information provided in the Reporting For The Media text for items #1 and #2 on p. 179 and item #2 on p. 200. The slug is more ledes. This assignment will be due by 11 p.m. Thursday. Please be sure to check the latest blog posts at that time for the details of that assignment, including text pages, assignment numbers and the assignment slug.
Also, below I have new blog posts for you to read critiquing your Wednesday lede-writing assignment. Please read the latest blog entries under "City Ledes" before starting on the Thursday assignment.
Another reminder: by next Monday please read Reporting For The Media Chapter 10 (p. 242-271). It's a short chapter so this should not be a big problem.
As we touched on Monday, this week you also need to be working on coming up with your first out-of-class story idea. Next Monday you will be given a tip sheet that will need to be filled out and returned to me on Wednesday detailing your idea. See the Jan. 31 blog post entitled"Independent Study For Feb. 2 Snowmageddon" for details on what you should be preparing.
Other than checking out the latest blog posts and working on my exciting lede-writing drills, have a fun snow day, everybody!
