Contacts for Beat (Public Safety Officers Charlie, etc).

Get some suckahs interviewed about who they're going to vote for+take pictures.

Every week one to two story ideas.


NOTES
-------------------------
*Impact: effect story has on reader
*Immediacy: How recent it was. Yesterday's newspaper is only good for wrapping fish.
*Proximity: Close to home.
*Prominence: Famous people.
*Novelty: Doesn't happen every day; unusual
*Conflict: We like conflict.
*Emotions: Puppy down a storm drain

News should NEVER be boring

Died unexpectedly doesn't fit in a car accident, etc.

On Wednesday expect a quiz on Stylebook from A to E and Inside Reporting chapters 1 and 2
End of Chapter 2 test yourself.
