After reading, I feel like organizing a visual package for my story is something attainable, rather than entirely threatening. "Writing the Package" did a good job of breaking down the news story into an order that made sense. Thinking back on watching news stories, this is generally the structure they take, yet usually they are so seamless that I never noticed it before. It was good to read a basic "how-to" on this kind of stuff. The article also provided useful examples to help me understand the concepts even further.
The other article, "Characteristics of Broadcast News Writing," was a good accompaniment in that it teaches the technical parts of the actual writing, like writing informally and using contractions. Very helpful.
This next assignment is essentially just telling a story, but also using gripping, fitting, and appropriate images and sound bites to make the story entertaining and to drive my points home.
