Your excercise for the next hour
1. Pick a story from the newsfeed (articles from news agencies)
2. Read the story (if necessary, pick another story)
3. Define which elements of the story are interesting to follow up?
4. Decide what publication would the follow-up story be for?
5. How is the follow-up-story set up? How is the data displayed? How do you incorporate
interactive elements?
6. Set a title and a lead – make sure it corresponds to the publication you chose in (4)
