February 26, 200521 yr Tonight I'll be covering my first game for the Courier-Journal, which is the newspaper here in Louisville. I'll be covering a local Division II school's basketball games here in town then doing a 15-inch story which will appear in tomorrow's sports section. I'm a bit nervous and perhaps slightly overwhelmed of the idea of writing on deadline, but I'm sure I'll do fine. Wish me luck.
February 26, 200521 yr I remember my first byline story. Nerve racking. 10 inches on girls tennis I think. But I'm sure you'll do fine. But just don't describe the game as "very very very very very exciting." Edited February 26, 200521 yr by winodj
February 26, 200521 yr Good luck buddy! I'm sure you'll find that working under a deadline actually improves your writing. You'll be fine!
February 26, 200521 yr Author Thanks for the words of encouragement, I'll post a link to the story tomorrow for everyone to read and then rip apart like a Mariotti column....
February 27, 200521 yr Author http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.d...005/1002/SPORTS The other part of the story, the men's game, was placed into another roundup due to space limitations. http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.d...478/1002/SPORTS Overall it was a good experience and I was glad to get my name in the paper (at least for the first article).
February 27, 200521 yr Those are some good reads there Alex, nice job. Would have been a nice experience like you said.
February 27, 200521 yr Nice solid piece of writing. There's something about your second graph though. Can't quite put my finger on it. How do you think you did?
February 28, 200521 yr Author Pretty well, they edited it a small bit, but overall I think I did well.
