When considering whether to write a story, a journalist always begins with two questions: 1. What's new? 2. Who cares? The first point is obvious. If something isn't new, then it can't be news. Most folks understand this instinctively. It is the second point that most people have trouble understanding. It isn't enough for your item to be new. To qualify as news, your story must appeal to a broad audience. It must have significance for other people, and lot of them. For example, consider the ...

Like anyone at any job, every journalist faces the same basic set of challenges every day. For the journalist, there are six of these fundamental problems. They are: 1.

Recently I have been watching a TV show called Blowout. It is a reality show about a hair designer, Jonathan Antin who struggles to get his Beverly Hills salon up and running. Not only do the Hollywood stars visit his shop but also many other women come in for makeovers with the hope that they too will look like the rich and famous. In fact, when their makeovers are finished they really do look more glamorous than when they walked in. Actually, the TV is filled with shows like these including ...
