Reason for taking the class

I am in Journalism 61 because it is a requirement for my major, which is Public Relations. I am also in this class because I am interested in finding out how to write for different types of news, such as paper and broadcast. This class will be helpful because it will teach me how to find a story. I will need to know how to make a lead in a story and keep the reader interested in the story. There are many ways to writing a news story and I want to find the many ways you can write and be intriguing at the same time.
