Two tips that you would give a journalist to help him meet deadlines?
Oxana [17]

Answer: I have more than two, let me know if you want more

1. ORGANIZE AND PLAN

-Have a story outline (but feel free to change it). Have a structure of the story in mind or on the page. Go through your notes and flag the parts you’ll want to use, whether it’s quotes or key points.

2. Write your lead last. It sometimes stumps writers, the body is more important

okay fine ill give you more

3.If you have multiple stories due, prioritize their writing as to your inspiration. For example, if your brain feels sluggish, write the simple, =story first to warm up. But if you're feeling poetic and the caffeine is kicking in, write the more difficult story before the energy and inspiration leave you.

4.Set yourself a deadline earlier than the publication's deadline.

Let me know if you want more!!
