Great Leads!

This morning's session about writing leads was so informative. I've learned names for different types of leads that I never knew before, and I have a better handle on which types of leads indicate good writing and which do not. I feel I'm better equipped to sit down with my writers to discuss how important great leads are, and I can pass along the tips I learned today to help them get better at starting their stories.

Loved Nick Oza's photography presentation - great reminder that pictures sometimes tell stories even better than stories tell stories. He gave lots of great tips that can help highschool photojournalists be more confident in getting the best possible pictures. In the picture, this is just before Nick showed us the Arizona Storytellers portion of the web site.
