The enterprise news story is a type of specialized story not based on breaking news or press conferences. These stories focus more on the underlying
factors that shape those events. Enterprise news stories are driven by keen observation and investigation to reach the root of the existing issues.
This Final Project requires you to write one enterprise news story that will be adapted for both print publication and broadcast media. You will choose a story
around one of the specialized journalism genres covered in the course: sports journalism, entertainment journalism, business journalism, government
journalism, environmental journalism, or cultural journalism. You must choose a real-world publication in your local community for writing the print story and
a real-world program in your local community for which the broadcast story will appear. Although you will not submit your story to the media outlets, the Final
Project will require that you understand the organizations as well as the audiences that you are writing to and creating the broadcast scriipt for. You are
required to use at least five sources of information for each story.
