Do you feel like you’re always writing recaps instead of original news stories? This presentation is designed to help you take your stories to the next level — instead of just telling readers what happened. Tim Schmitt, with GateHouse Media, shares tips on how to make your stories multifaceted and people-focused, rather than just regurgitating the information you receive.
