Worried about how to do a profile? The New York Times does great profiles (here's one tied to a specific event). Recently, they have been doing a series on what famous New Yorkers do on the weekends. You may choose the format of the portfolio, but you must include the elements listed above.
From Joyce:
Please send me (Joyce) your articles before Wednesday, October 20. Friday is THE official deadline. Meeting the deadline is your grade.
If your article ready to be checked, send me a message along with your google doc.
Captions should be done on Wednesday as well.
There are other types of sidebars rather than quote collections, so INVESTIGATE for good secondary coverage.
I'm tired of seeing quote collections.
