JOU Final:

Hey all:

Your test is due at 2:40. You will email the final to my gmail account. The file will be saved: lastname.final.doc (or rtf).

You will be graded on three components: use of story elements, AP Style and grammar. You must use one outside source (from research), attributed properly, in your piece. It does not have to be an entire graf — but it can be.

You must have either 2 or 3 body grafs. No more. No less. You will make a decision on the nutgraf, summary and kicker based upon your research.

Your story at PR Newswire. Once you get there:

  1. Click on the MULTIMEDIA tab across the top.
  2. Your story: MULTIMEDIA NEWS RELEASE - National PSA Campaign Launched to Empower Teens to Take on Their No. 1 Killer

You can use the related links, video and press release for the story.
