Blog Topic #3

When it comes down to writing feature stories, I particularly like to emulate stories after the “Page 2” section at ESPN.com and the “Music Review” section at soulculture.uk. The stories “Page 2” release on their website makes the reader become engaged in a professional humor way. They start their lead with engaging background information giving the reader interesting facts which drives the story forward. For example, columnist Sarah Phillips wrote a story on who will win the Super Bowl. By giving analysis in the lead, made me want to read her opinionated myth predictions. I will borrow her writing format and incorporate her structure as my own when I write stories especially in sports. For the “Music Review” section at soulculture.uk, I want to develop their smooth story transition skills. The bloggers have a way of saying something that conveys you in visuals and emotion. Alya Mooro who wrote the Childish Gambino artist review mentions herself as a fan first then critic. She said she enjoys the music first allowing herself to be in the moment. By being in the moment gives her the right words to write a detailed story review. I hope to adapt Phillips and Mooro traits overtime, so I make a impact in peoples lives when I go out and report in the field.
