ReplyDelete1.)According to Harrower, besides the inverted pyramid, what other two types of story structures can we use?
a.The Martini Glass: Begins with an inverted-pyramid summary of the story’s most important facts, then shifts into chronological narrative, then details what happened step by step, and end with a twist or a kicker. The Lead, Key facts in inverted pyramid form, Chronology of events and Kicker.
b.The Kabob: Story begins with a quote or anecdote about a specific person, then broadens into a general discussion of the topic, and ends with it returning to the specific person again. Anecdote, Nut Graf, Meat, Meat, Meat, Anecdote.
2.)What does "on the record" and "off the record" really mean (isn't everything, "on the record").
a.“Off the record” is an agreement by a reporter and a source specifying that information revealed in an interview cannot be printed in any form. “On the record” is allowed to be printed. However, if in a court of law the journalist is asked who the source is, they are required by law to answer even if the source’s statement was “off the record.”

2. “Off the record” really means you shouldn’t write about the topic yet, research it more and find out the real truth ethically. It could lead to more opportunities for research. “On the record” really means everything is taken into effect, and can be used, ethically in your story.

ReplyDelete1.) According to Harrower, besides the inverted pyramid, what other two types of story structures can we use?
Martini glass- you begin with an inverted pyramid lead to summarize the key facts. You shift into a chronology here at which point your story recounts the dramatic events step by step. You end with a meaningful detail or quote, a kicker.
The Kabob-the story begins with a quote or anecdote about a specific person. Then it broadens into a general discussion of the topic, it end by returning to that specific person.
2.) What does "on the record" and "off the record" really mean (isn't everything, "on the record").
When someone is telling you something off the record, they will disclose more about the story. People will not disclose as much when they are talking on the record. Off the record means they don’t want it in the story, and on the record means it’s okay to be put in the story.

1.) According to Harrower, besides the inverted pyramid, what other two types of story structures can we use?
The Kabob: begins with a quote or anecdote about a specific person. Then it broadens into a general discussion about a topic. Then return to the specific topic again.
The Martini Glass: Begins with an inverted pyramid summary. Once that’s done, shift into a chronological narrative.
2.) What does "on the record" and "off the record" really mean (isn't everything, "on the record").
Nothing is really “off the record” but it means that “On the record” your allowed to use names and specific quotes from people. “Off the record” is gaining information but you cannot use specific names or quotes. But truth of the matter is, you cannot retain information from a judge, so there is never anything “off the record”

The Kabob:
Stories on trends or events where you want to show how actual people are affected or involved. This story begins with a quote or anecdote about a specific person. Broadens into a general topic; then returns to that specific person.
The Martini Glass:
Also known as ‘The Hourglass.’ Used often for crimes, disaster, or other dramatic news stories, begin with most important facts, then shift into a chronological narrative.
2.) What does "on the record" and "off the record" really mean (isn't everything, "on the record").
ON THE RECORD: The reporter’s source agrees that anything said during the interview can be printed, and the source’s name can be used.
OFF THE RECORD: The information cannot be published in any form. If a reporter is told off the record the reporter must confirm it from a separate source before printing it.

On the record means they will be using the quote in the story.
Off the records means they won’t be using the quote. However, it can be a place to research more about that story through another lead. You can never truly tell your source that what they say is off the record because in legal situations, you will be held in contempt if you don’t tell the court who the source was.
