Have at least three sources, or experts, in every story. Aim to answer your Big Five in the first paragraph of the story. Example: Stuff (who), a 20-pound goat owned by Thom Hunter and his family, escaped (what) in the early morning hours Saturday (when) from its barn (where) to eat the Kim-Franklins’ daffodils (why). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591f52f94402435993bd7e3a/1586307658343-7YAO0LR5CR4T7FIDSYMM/Characters_NPC_characters_2.jpg MAKE YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER! - Gordon’s tips for photojournalists: The best photographs tell a story of their own. Try to get a shot of your profile subject doing something they love—making dinner or gardening or reading a book—without them noticing you. One famous photojournalist, Gordon Parks, did this by not even bringing his camera along the first time or two he met with a profile subject. He just wanted them to be comfortable around him before he tried to get their portrait. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591f52f94402435993bd7e3a/1586307942245-HWQNNEHI29IGKVUIYUTZ/Characters_NPC_characters_2.jpg MAKE YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER! - Gloria’s tips for columnists: Working at my family diner, I know everyone has differing taste. And, though some people are stuck in their perspectives, sometimes it takes a little convincing to get someone to try something new, such as the many different toppings that can make pizza go from plain to pizazz! A column is a great way to be an original thinker. Identify what’s amazing or boring or a bonus or unfair, and then put some peaches on that pizza! Sure, not everyone will agree, but maybe someone will. Or maybe they’ll be brave enough to try something new. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591f52f94402435993bd7e3a/1586305858884-LWY6QD0JMWM7SOIRU3FH/Characters_NPC_characters_2.jpg MAKE YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER! - Thom’s tips for feature writing: If you’re showing something new in your features story, such as a cool craft or fun trick or new recipe, ask someone else in the family to try out. Take notes while they do, so you can see how clear your instructions are. Use all of it as part of your feature story! Yeah, it might’ve been your idea or creation, but be sure to find other sources, too. The more sources, the better. Also? This is your story! Make sure anyone who reads it knows you’re the one who wrote it. Use your voice, or own way of storytelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591f52f94402435993bd7e3a/1586306243768-HN9O1JZPPU6M4MTOHNGZ/Characters_NPC_characters_2.jpg MAKE YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER! - Min’s tips for design: Try lots of different fonts for your masthead! I like the ones with lots of frills and swirls, myself. Think about a picture or image that might work. In The Cub Report, I drew a little bear cub. Is someone in your family an artist? I bet so! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591f52f94402435993bd7e3a/1586306814687-E6MZA8VXDXDRD9TTVMT5/Characters_NPC_characters_2.jpg MAKE YOUR OWN NEWSPAPER! - Charlotte’s tips: Like puzzles? Copy editing might be the job for you! Copy editing is a great way to point out problems and help reporters find solutions. While you’re editing, try reading the stories out loud. Listen for words that are overused or misused. Also, consider getting a copy of the AP Stylebook. This will help you make sure your newspaper reads and looks like other newspapers. https://www.bethvrabel.com/to-tell-you-the-truth daily 0.75 2022-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591f52f94402435993bd7e3a/1618229589518-9XZSM8TOMJRBZU3ZZ0O7/TO%2BTELL%2BYOU%2BTHE%2BTRUTH%2Bjacket.jpg TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591f52f94402435993bd7e3a/1634824803194-4ILJFJELFKIRL3AEC3WR/to-tell-you-the-truth-9781534478596_hr.jpeg TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH - To Tell You the Truth TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH An utterly charming Southern-voiced middle grade novel about a young girl and the adventure she embarks upon to prove her Gran’s stories were true. Perfect for fans of The Unforgettable Guinevere St. Clair and Three Times Lucky. * "This cathartic narrative nimbly explores love, grief, revival, and what makes a tale true." – Publishers Weekly, Starred Review * “This is an outstanding book . . . a page turner. Disparate story lines weave a multidimensional tale that ties together perfectly. Trixy’s and her grandmother’s voices will remind readers of Louisiana from Kate ­DiCamillo’s Louisiana’s Way Home, echoing a similarly fearless, independent, and spunky attitude.” – School Library Journal, Starred Review * "Difficult topics and dramatic revelations are softened by the leisurely pace and the humorous interactions . . . Poignant and uplifting. – Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "The book imparts a gentle wisdom on friendship and family, grief and grace, but it shines in how it stresses the beauty and importance of stories, both spoken and silent. A gorgeous reminder of the power of stories to shape our worlds and each other." – Booklist Trying to find a way out of a tangled mess, Trixy and her friend Raymond hit the road to follow the twists and turns of Gran’s past. Maybe then Trixy can stop stealing Gran’s stories to write one that’s all her own, one that’s the straight-up truth. Cover art by Oriol Vidal.
