Exercise Story Ideas

In groups, come up with three local story ideas that you could write about. Tell me why these stories are newsworthy.

Labor Day weekend, and Dave Mathews band all in the same weekend. We could write about how drugs may be happening due to prior incidents at the Gorge, and also there are more cops out then ever due to people going home this weekend. This story is newsworthy because everyone is traveling and I think everyone wants/ needs to know what is going on at the Gorge, and to be safe and smart because of the extra cop cars on the highways.

Zzusis being late again on their distributions on financial aid again has made people late on their rent, and books.  This is newsworthy because last year due to this problem lots of students had to drop out of WSU because they didn't have money to pay rent and books there for could not attend school.

Now that tuition has increased by 16 percent since last year, students are looking now more than ever for jobs. I applied at Call-a coug because I can’t afford school anymore even when I made money over the summer. After I applied, they responded with multiple interviews dates because they had more than 350 applicants which is unbelievable and these are similar cases to a lot of jobs and places on campus. This is important because several people I know are currently looking for the same reason and there is nothing available.
