May 24: How to find story leads

Today's session began with the standard practice of reading the newspaper but there was a small change - we skipped stories on crime and deaths and located 'positive' leads.

This provided examples for a discussion on the usage of proper / appropriate and simple words in a report and how simple language.

This session was all about finding story leads. How, when and where can a reporter find the story. We also talked about ways to locate stories even from small things that happen in the locality.

After that, all of us were asked to look at our local maps to find a story idea. We also discussed the leads of every participant.
