Tip from the Newsroom: Finding Ideas for Stories

Can't decide what to write about? Here are some helpful tips:



  • Keep your eyes and ears open; listen to what your friends are talking about.




  • Read everything you can get your hands on; get story ideas from other newspapers and magazines.




  • Think of a youth angle to a current news story.




  • Research a subject that interests you and ask yourself what you would like to know more about.




  • Talk to people in a specific field to find out what is important to them.



If you know of other places for story ideas, please share or go to www.hsj.org.
