I am a journalism student and I am from India. We have to complete some project work in our curriculum. We asked to prepare our own newsletter where we have to make four pages newsletter which will contain 2 ordinary news report (like on some events, seminars, exhibition, workshops, etc.); 2 investigative news reports (like on case in police station, any court proceeding, general problems in your area which may include electricity shortage, troublesome neighbors, etc); then lastly we have to conduct one interview of person from any field (like professor, lawyer, cop, beggar, just anything). Each report has to be more than 500 words. So just give me some suggestions, ideas or tell me some websites which give brief information on reporting, editing, interviewing etc. if you have any ideas about layout designing then you are most welcome. Just any kind of information that could be helpful for my project is important. So please tell as much as you can tell. Even you can share your experiences. I would like to thank all of you in advance. Thanks a lot.
