 * First News Story: Graduation pranks require consequence[[file:Graduation Stunts.docx]]

>>> ==== My first attempt at writing a news story turned out to be more difficult than I expected. I realized that have little to no bias is quite hard to do. My first paragraph was written in the likes of an editorial. I went back and changed it so that there was no opinion. It’s important to stick to the facts and leave out opinion when writing a news story. I also learned that it is extremely important to specify who said what. Attributions are crucial because then my reader won’t be able to prove that the statement is accurate. When I started to write information about the contract and consequences I didn’t put enough details. Details were added into my paper to give my reader a better understanding of the material. Another minor problem I ran into was the structure of my paper. Knowing where to place certain information is very important. I did an acceptable job with putting my information in order from most important to least important. The structure of a news story is another crucial point because I don't want the least important information to be at the beginning. I think that for my first news story I have began a foundation for my news writing. I honestly think that my main problem was being opinionated. When I revised my paper I tried to remove any biased comments or opinionated statements in my paper. I think one improvement I would like to make is to not be biased and stick to the facts. ====
