When writing articles for the Tower Review, what will be more important to consider? What do you think will be the easiest part of the process? What do you anticipate being most difficult? How can you combat these concerns? Discuss your understanding of the newspaper article format am the incorporation of that information for the purpose of the class.

My understanding of the newspaper article format is that you need to include the who, what, when, where, why and how. You also need to give the reader a clear explanation of whats going on. Your view cannot be biased and it should have a catchy lead that draws the reader in. This information applies to the class because we need to have catchy and informative articles in order to gain a readership, and we can't be biased in some of our topics because it could upset students and/or teachers. The most important thing to consider when we are writing for the Tower Review will be that we have to include the five W's and the how. Another important thing will be looking over the article and taking the bias out of it, even if you feel strongly about a certain topic. The easiest part of the process will probably be picking a topic to write about. The hardest part will be going about gathering information and getting interviews for the article. We can combat these concerns by asking the subjects for interviewing nicely and respect them if they say no.
