Advice

• Take notes on the Post throughout the week or you'll have no chance of remembering all of the current events on Thursday.
• DON'T SPELL NAMES WRONG! Trust me.
• Read your story out loud, even if it isn't a broadcast story. You might look strange muttering to yourself at your computer but you'll catch mistakes.
• The Metro section is never interesting.
• Leads are like puzzles. Strange, hard puzzles that make you angry because you can't find the corner pieces immediately. However, like puzzles, leads are do-able. Play around with them and don't be afraid of rewriting them.
• This class isn't nearly as bad as you think it's going to be. Take the advice you're given, follow directions and you'll do just fine.
