Find a profile article published in a newspaper of national reputation that uses an alternative lead.
Write out the lead.
Analyze the lead: Is it one paragraph, or multi-paragraph? Does it fit any of the categories we discussed in class? If so, which one? If not, how would you describe it.
What is the main point of the story? Does that main point appear in a “nut” or summary paragraph?
Which paragraph comes closest to being a nut graph? Write it out.
Which of the following techniques does the write make good use of: scenes, dialogue, foreshadowing, anecdotes.
Describe how one of those techniques is used.
How well does the reporter convey a physical sense of the person profiled? What details are included?
