Cup of tea

                 I collected three news leads from different internet sites. I used articles from "ABC," "Fox News," and "NY Post." The ABC article talked about a man fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy outside a Colorado middle school who wants to take legal action. This article used a summary lead. The article started with a summary of the entire post and gave the reader detailed information in the other set of paragraphs. It answers the five Ws of journalism and tells the reader what happened to the victim and why he wants to sue. It does not elaborate on the deputies who committed the crime and the reason for their actions. This lead caught my attention right away after reading the first paragraph.

          There needs to be more clarity regarding the differences between a new story and a news release. I will explain the two in the most straightforward ways so you can understand.

A news release is information from the community or offices with different titles, such as communication directors. Journalists would use this information instead of coming up with it by interviewing the person or people. In simpler terms, a news release ...

  Ten Minute Interview                       I interviewed a classmate in my algebra class to learn about their hobbies. His name is Alfie, this is his second year at BPCC, and his major is criminal justice. His hobbies include gaming, drumming, partying, and creating art. His favorite video games are Fortnite, Valorant , and League of legends. He has been playing Fortnite since it came out, but it does not have the same charm as it did years ago. He had been making art since he was seven years old, but it became a passion as he reached his middle school years. He told me that he used to do digital painting with beer. He also enjoys going out with his close friends to clubs, arcades, and the movies. He loves the vibe he gets from going to the club around midnight and hitting the dance floor with his sick moves.                   The interview was quickly over afte...
