Tip from the Newsroom: Organizing Your Research




Once you have done your initial research and completed your interview, you are ready to sit down and begin piecing the information together. It is important to lay out what you've gathered and put it in a easy to follow sequence. Here are some tips:




  • Gather your notes, interviews and research into a file.


  • Review your notes.


  • Look for common themes.


  • Search your notes for good quotes or interesting facts.


  • Develop a focus.


  • Write the focus of the article down in two or three sentences.

Anyone have any other thoughts or ideas?
