Bobby Hawthorne
1. "He says by running every story idea through an obstacle course that will produce the most interesting and informative coverage." I think him the reporters should do there job thats what they get paid for to collect data and i guess he thought they were not doing his job.
2. "this is a recipe for success if you're trying to peddle journalism like microwave popcorn. That is "hot and ready to go in 90 seconds or less. Tastes like whatever you put on it, and won't fill you up."
"So if your goal is to make certain readers can skim through the paper , search for a few familiar names and faces and be finished with it in five minutes or less, then there's no need to read on."
what he is saying is if your ready to be successful with journalism don't take forever to solve your problems.
Alexus: These answers don't really get at the main idea of the chapter. Hawthorne suggests that you should write stories more like short stories than just information pieces and spends the chapter talking about how to write stories that way. 75
