Structure

Julie Snyder and Brian Reed

At this point, most of my interviews and research had been completed. Sometimes after building the story beyond Part 2, you may realize you need to conduct additional interviews and gather more information to support new ideas that bounce off the ones already written out.

Part 2

"You were not doing any work you were just drawing and copying boxes over and over again for hours!" – my good friend Tracey Stafford

However, as Mr. Peed taught us in Journalism class, figuring out the structure of a news story is the most crucial step in writing a news piece or even a longer-form news piece like mine. In class, we studied structure examples in different articles. When Brian Reed from This American Life made S-Town, he showed a fun and useful model of how a writer/reporter can visualize a structure of a story.
