Hi, I wrote this paper incorrectly and need it to be fixed to my professor’s needs. I wrote it like a traditional essay but it needs to look more like magazine-style writing. I attached below my professor’s edits and changes he wanted along with examples of other drafts. When you finish the assignment if you could answer a few questions about it I will pay even extra because I have to present this paper to the class. Make sure to include a photo in the essay as well. Below are the directions. I also included the interview I conducted which has to be included in the paper in a similar format to the examples. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. A SOLID IDEA that I APPROVE. Your Long Project <\/span>cannot just be an unadorned profile of someone<\/span>. It must put the person you interview in the context of a larger story about something: an issue, a trend, a company that represents a fad or theme in society, etc. <\/p>\n

2. Keep in mind that these are not essays or first-person opinion pieces. <\/span>You as the writer cannot be in the story<\/strong> <\/span>(except for unique situations that I APPROVE.) You use your information or other people’s quotes\/anecdotes to make the points you want to make. <\/p>\n

3. <\/span>Try for<\/strong> <\/span>a <\/span>subordinate first-hand interview consisting of at least a half-dozen questions including prepared questions and follow-ups. Along the lines of what you did for your short project. <\/span>I WILL NOT, HOWEVER, <\/span>REQUIRE YOU<\/em> <\/span>TO COMPLETE A SECOND FIRST-HAND INTERVIEW. <\/span><\/strong>If you are unable to arrange another first-hand interview, you may use quotes you find in another source, <\/span>with proper attribution<\/strong>. You cannot make it seem as if you spoke to someone you did not speak to. So attribution (to the person and original source material) is key. <\/span>E.g., “as Jane Doe told the New York Times in February 2023…<\/strong>” We will discuss.<\/span><\/p>\n

–If you are writing on an issue\/controversy, the subordinate interview should be a <\/span>counterpoint<\/strong> <\/span>to the primary interview. So to use a cliched example, if you are writing on the philosophies and contributions of Black Lives Matter, your subordinate interview might be with a police chief or some other law-enforcement presence.<\/p>\n

5. Contextual research-based material that is sufficient to explain your topic and\/or make your case. Again, in the piece on BLM, you would need statistics on police violence and related areas, other short first-hand interviews, quotes from other sources (with proper attribution), relevant anecdotes (e.g., a short anecdote about a particular victim or cop), etc. Do your <\/span>homework\/due diligence<\/a>. It is essential that you show the sourcing of contextual information in your article, not just in footnotes or a list of source materials. So if you quote a major study or a key statistics, you might write something like “…, according to a CDC study reported in <\/span>Time<\/em>” or “Figures from the Bureau of Justice Statistics suggest that…”<\/p>\n

–This material must be compiled and in a form in which you can submit it to me for review. <\/span>You cannot simply make broad, sweeping  statements based on your own say-so or your “lived experience,” as they say<\/span>. <\/p>\n

6. Art and\/or graphic materials that you feel are ideal to illustrate your story.<\/p>\n

7. The piece will come in at between 1750 and 2250 words. Your ideal length is 2000 words.<\/p>\n

–This, believe it or not, is considered a rather long article in today’s publishing world. (My first assigned pieces when I began writing were in the realm of 3000-4000 words.)<\/p>\n

8. The finished piece in most cases will need to be <\/span>information-packed<\/strong>. We will hash this out on a student-by-student basis. Some ideas may lend themselves to more anecdotal treatment and less data. <\/span>This will give you some general thoughts<\/a> <\/span>on shaping such a piece. <\/p>\n

9.  All writing will be double-spaced in a common 12-point font (e.g. Times New Roman, Garamond, Corbel, etc). <\/p>\n

10.  Your information must be fact-checkable. (By me.) If I find material errors of fact, that will hurt your grade. We <\/span>DO NOT USE INLINE CITATIONS<\/span> <\/span>in magazine writing; that’s “academic-ese.” Use live links embedded in appropriate places. Also keep in mind that in magazine journalism there are no links or citations. So if you don’t use live links, just give me a source list.<\/p>\n

You begin with a lede that sets the tone. There are several (overlapping) ways of doing this, as discussed in class, but here\u2019s a brief recap of general types of ledes. See <\/span>that page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
