Mario Manzini

The Mario Manzini story shows why, no matter what the medium, good writing and reporting are the backbone of solid journalism. The lead of this story captured my interest and attention immediately. The interesting quotes in the Manzini clips (such as the story of being asked by his father to kill someone) helped to give an in-depth picture of the story's subject. The reporter's writing was lively and flowed well. I think it's difficult to pull this off on radio, especially for a print guy like me who is used to writing long sentences that don't work on air.
