Introduction to News Reports
my new report
-key information comes at the beginning
A men's Olympic luger from the country of Georgia died Friday after a high-speed crash on a track that is the world's fastest and has raised safety concerns among competitors.
-the most important information comes in the first sentence or two (the lead)
A men's Olympic luger from the country of Georgia died Friday after a high-speed crash on a track that is the world's fastest and has raised safety concerns among competitors. A tearful IOC president Jacques Rogge said the death hours before the opening ceremony "clearly casts a shadow over these games."
-the information is presented most to least relevant
most--Nodar Kumaritashvili lost control of his sled during training, went over the track wall and struck an unpadded steel pole near the finish line at Whistler Sliding Center. Kumaritashvili went over the wall at 88 mph, reports CBS News correspondent Jeff Glor.
least--Temperatures are consistently hitting the 50's here in February - following the region's warmest January on record, Glor reports. What's happening? El Nino, in part, driving a warm tropical weather pattern up the West coast, into British Columbia, Glor reports
-the reporter is not part of the story (the reporter writes using 'he,' 'she' or 'they' NOT 'I' or 'me').
"Here you have a young athlete that lost his life in pursuing his passion," Rogge added. "He had a dream to participate in the Olympic Games. He trained hard and he had this fatal accident. I have no words to say what we feel."
-the reporter gives as many facts and details as possible.
Rogge said he was in contact with Kumaritashvili's family and officials from the Georgian government. Georgia's Olympic committee was deciding whether to remain in the games, Rogge said.
-reporters try to include either direct or indirect quotations
