I had an important lesson in the media writing skills class I teach once a week, to do with news angles.
At the end of the class, the students were asked to spot news angles from a speech by a former Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Happily, most of them did well but they were still not entirely comfortable with the concept of angles for news writing.
I spent another 30-40 minutes with them going over it, looking at other examples and analysing writing techniques and it appears they have it sussed.
I hope so, because for successful news writing, you simply MUST know about news angles.
the 14-week course is pretty much covered in my ebook on news writing.
