so we just received another email from professor robertson regarding the honolulu star-bulletin and how writers or good reporters should be able to minimize their story and cut out unimportant information to make it clearer, concise and solid. it's a tough job, but it's a gradual attainment through practice, learning and experience in the field. all i have to say is, can a writer/reporter really grasp the entire point or concept of the story in 250 words or less, or even sum it up within the lead? that would be terrific!.....and i am sure it has been done before and certainly can be done.

i think you are right too. it can be done, but i also think it almost kills the point of writing. i mean people go into the field because of their love and skill for writing and being on the job, up front with the story. thats why i would much rather read feature stories. they deliver the same message, but ithink they are easier to read and because of their conversational tone, make for an all together better story.
