You don't do story for fame as a Journalist or Newscaster. Be creative with your content.In your story, learn to connect emotionally with people, intentionally gather data from them. @Yinkaolaito @LasustMasscomm

Don't just do a story, dig deeper.Connect with your audience emotionally. Begin to think intellectually about issues that are coming up. Things are changing constantly in story writing. @Yinkaolaito @LasustMasscomm

Have a data Bank where you store up your data. Your Gmail, cloud can be of help. Start with your passion. Know your audience, people that you are writing for. Who are you speaking with. That is the beginning of your story writing ability. @Yinkaolaito @LasustMasscomm

Your audience determines your language and choice of words. Your audience must be able to relate with your story. You need to know their pain before you can write a good story about them. @Yinkaolaito @LasustMasscomm

To do a good story, think Human. You are writing to and about human beings, THINK HUMAN in writing your story. See the profession as a call to service not a means to an end. @Yinkaolaito @LasustMasscomm
