Must write for your community or your campus, so you must choose a local story or a broader story with a local focus: this means you can cover a national story but from a local angle.
Must NOT use other news stories as sources for your own story. You must conduct your own interviews and dig up data and facts from primary sources on your own. In other words, you cannot build your news story off the legwork of other journalists, and since you are writing a local story, this should be easier than you think. Interview neighbors, city council members, participants, and so on and turn to government websites (like the Dallas County COVID website, for example), police reports, surveys, and so on.
Must be purely objective; in other words, you cannot express your opinion or judgment in any way. You must purely report the news.
hi, this is all the question has. You can get started.
Answer preview
According to election officials within the county, they expect to handle numerous mail-in ballots during the upcoming elections. They estimate that the number of mail-in ballots the residents will cast will be more than triple the number of ballots they dealt with during the 2016 elections. Even though these numbers seem to indicate that people are open to the idea of mass mail-in voting, a majority of the county’s residents are still skeptical. Many people fear that using this system might deprive them of their right to vote, considering all the stories appearing on national and local news outlets and even on social media regarding the efficacy of mail-in voting. Pennsylvania is a crucial battle state for the two presidential candidates, Joe Biden and President Donald Trump. The fact that it is a swing state means that voters not only within the state but also in Northampton County will have a massive say on who becomes the next president of the United States.
