BY: NADINE RUSSELL
ReplyDeleteThree profiles according to Banaszynski
1. Cradle-to-current profile- knowing the full sweep of a person’s life
2. Niche profile-information included only pertaining to the story, i.e. Where they grew up if it pertains
3. Paragraph profile-transforms a flat story into a real life one.
Four epic profiles according to Tizon:
1. Your subject is as complicated as you are-your subject is like you, human, and they have more than one dimension, you know what they are going through and vice versa
2. Your subject carries a burden as heavy as you are-make yourself relatable to your subject so that they place trust in you, i.e. alcoholism
3. Your subject wants something-some interviewees want to see their name in the paper, you as a reporter has to figure out what each subject wants
4. Your subject is living an epic story-the goal for your subject is to figure out what your subject wants to achieve. Do they want to be off the record or on the record? Etc.
What is the first person singular according to Brown?
You as a reporter has to give life to the story, give the characters depth, the environments details, the world humanity so that the readers know who they are, how much money they make, where they live, what makes them human and essentially what makes them tick.

ReplyDelete3 profiles:
1. Cradle-to-current profile – a detailed profile describing everything about a person’s life
2. Niche profile – a quick profile showing the information about a specific person; contains key facts you would want to know, usually under 1000 words
3. Paragraph profile – a paragraph within a story about what a person has done related to the story
Epic profile approaches:
1. Your subject is as complicated as you are—your subjects are multi-dimensional and have many sides to their lives
2. Your subject carries a burden as heavy as yours—look for the person’s pain to understand him as a human and a writer
3. Your subject wants something—every good story is a quest, be it large or small
4. Your subject is living an epic story—the larger narrative that your subject’s story fits into; the theme of their life
First person singular is the way that you, as the reporter, interpret and see these stories, and how you report on your subject’s theme.

Four “epic profile" approaches according to Tizon
1. Your subject is as complicated as you are. Each person has a dark side.
2. Your subject carries a burden as heavy as yours. Look for a person’s pain to understand them.
3. Your subject wants something. Every story has a protagonist who wants something and goes through obstacles in order to get it.
4. Your subject is living an epic story. Every person has multiple stories and after 2 hours of talking to someone it should be clear what their story is.
According to Brown "first person singular" means that although the story is about the person, you are still the one making the calls and it’s important to really know your subject and bring yourself into it. It means treating every story and subject in the story with dignity regardless of their background or any other aspect which makes them different from us.

3. Paragraph Profile: Transforms a fairly flat story into one with real characters. Helps readers move through a story as names are no longer merely names.

1. Your subject is as complicated as you are.
2. Your subject carries a burden as heavy as yours.
3. Your subject wants something.
4. Your subjects is living an epic story.
THE FIRST PERSON SINGULAR ACCORDING TO BROWN:
Piecing together the threads of humanity that make us one, taking what is considered different and making it commonplace. It means, above all, writing about people, their lives, their humanity – no matter who they are, where they live, how much money they make, or what social class they are in (or think they are in). It means treating both people and stories with dignity.
Lauren Hooker
ReplyDelete1. Cradle-to-current profile: This type of profile literally means a story about the subject’s life from when they were “in the cradle”, or very young, to present.
2. Niche profile: The kind of profile is the here-and-now type of story. It explains why they’re in the news, who they are, and connecting it to what’s happening.
3. Paragraph profile: This is a short profile of a character in a story. Instead of slapping a source into your piece, you should write a paragraph profile on them to show the readers that they’re more than just a name.
[One: Your subject is as complicated as you are.] Instead of examining a source as just a source---a police officer, an esthetician, a piercer---look at them as people, as characters. Everyone has a dark side; find it. Sometimes people are harboring better stories than what you initially came to talk to them about.
[Two: Your subject carries a burden as heavy as yours] Everyone is going through something rough; remember that you’re not the only one. Be empathetic towards your subjects; pain connects people.
[Three: Your subject wants something] People like adventure, and people like quests. Your stories should always have a purpose, and your subjects should have something they’re dealing with or working towards. This draws readers in, because they want to see what happens.
[Four: Your subject is living an epic story] Everyone has a story to tell, and journalists, it’s up to us to find it. Someone might appear “boring” on the outside, but once you get past the outside, you’ll find something much more interesting that they didn’t tell you right off the bat.
III. What is first person singular? Our mission is to find situations and stories that people may not be familiar with, and tell them. Stories connect humans, and journalism is one way to go about this. If there is a story that needs to be told, but no one wants to tell it, it’s alright for the journalist to come forth and share their own personal experience.
