o On Page 34 (and to the end of the section), Dotson writes about a long-form feature. Find one of these (a story at least 4 minutes long) on a TV news magazine such as Rock Center, 20/20 or 60 Minutes. Then, give and explain examples of how the storyteller uses the five bulleted traits Dotson gives on Page 34. (200 words)
o What do you notice about the way he writes? Use specific examples, please. (75 words)
From his writing, I noticed the way he goes into depth of his explanations. He makes sure we understand the reasoning. For instance, he was talking about how photojournalists were staking out the home of a young pilot in Lubbock, Texas. His father was a dying king who had just been deposed. Every network wanted a sound bite from the son. But the only person who got it was the journalist named, Scotty Berner. He got it from his Non-Question/Question.

Work hard to make the story engaging and interesting. Take the information that you have and dramatize it if it isn't. You can do this by considering all of your topics and focus in on a small topic that listeners might be interested in Next get as in depth as possible with details. Readers do not want to hear the same story over and over, listeners want to hear something new and entertaining, a story they have never heard before or anything like it.

In his scripts, he has many examples to show what he taught you in his story. The many examples he uses are meant to help you better understand what he was trying to explain and tell his readers. Its split to make it easier for the reader to understand and read. I thought that the scripts were interesting because they helped the reader understand and relate to the stories. His writing made me understand the way he explains and demonstrates everything.

The film of his that I watched was “Jackie Hance thought sister-in-law was 'good mom' before Taconic crash”, off of the website: Rock Center. This story talked about how a mother was letting her sister in law take her three children on a camping trip. Bob Dotson first talked about the setting. The scene was set in an interview room with the mother and the person interviewing her, Brian Williams. First they talked about where the crash happened, Taconic Parkway. In the interview he had the natural sounds of the girls playing in the background. Foreshadowing was used when they showed the mother's book in the beginning called, "I'll See You Again" with a picture of her daughters on it. The conflict in the story was this mother putting so much trust into this sister in law that she did not know much about. The mother gets a call from her oldest daughter crying and saying “Something is wrong with her.”Soon the sister in law was driving onto incoming traffic. The character growth was proven when the mother was talking about how at first she would have explained o r described her sister in law as a trustworthy close friend, but in the end it proved she did not know much about her. The Resolution was explained when she talked about the police finding marijuana and alcohol in the sister in law’s system. The mother does not ever forgive herself for trusting this stranger with her kid’s lives.
