Option One: The Secret to his sucess

Stephen Glass He is known as the second famous journalistic liar . He wasn't a good journalism person who knew all about it he was just curious . He talked about Tyson fight was't really a lead. I think he had a good lead here talking about how the editor stands up for you its a good responds. i think he just needs a little help with his stories and responds and stuff . I like him and he's thoughts and things but he just needs some things looked over.

finding feature leads

                            Finding Feature Leads 


“Oh my God—we hit a little girl.” This was the single, shocking cover line of the October 1966 issue of Esquire. Inside was John Sack’s 33,000-word New Journalism masterpiece, M, in which he followed a single company of American infantrymen from Fort Dix, New Jersey, to the war in South Vietnam. With that story—the longest to ever appear in Esquire—Sack single-handedly invented what it meant to be an embedded reporter and reset the bar for what journalism could be: trenchant, moving, and at times funny and even rollicking, yet dead set on revealing in personal terms the most troubling and urgent issues of our time. Esquire executive editor Mark Warren, who was Sack’s last editor at the magazine, joins host David Brancaccio to discuss Sack’s legacy and why he remains the least known but arguably most important New Journalist of his generation.

NPR has released the final versions of the new clocks for its newsmagazines and set a date of Nov. 17 for their implementation.
The network unveiled proposed clocks in July after more than a year of work that involved staff and representatives from member stations. The clocks are the second-by-second scheduling of what happens when during the newsmagazines, including newscasts, music beds and funding credits. They also affect when stations can insert their own local content.

Miscellaneous Freak Leads 
he exuberant and ageless John Sack was the only American journalist to witness combat in every American war from Korea in the early fifties to Afghanistan in 2002. The “embed” arrangement—which attached a journalist to a particular military unit—was virtually invented for Sack. While he was covering the Korean War for Stars & Stripes, his status as a correspondent ended after he stowed away overnight aboard an American landing ship to interview Chinese prisoners of war and was arrested by the American military police when the ship docked in Pusan, South Korea.

I like them because it will help me write my own one day , i liked "dies the victim, Dies the city because i liked the writing of it and how its written. the illustration writing was good , it had good features and it really helps the reader to understand it.  


                                  Feature writing

Leads are the opening sentence must grab and hold the readers attention by using specific, interest-arousing words. Narrative tells a story , Descriptive describes a scene , person subject , direct quote must be used with narrative startling statement , contrast and compare (then and now) .
