I wanted to write a relatively short and punchy article and I realised the best way would be to find one looking for a lost animal or suchlike, as I would just have to give a short, punchy description.
However when I was looking through local press releases, I came across this article on a missing man in my area.
The press release was very short and the bulk of it was just his description. So when it came to putting it into an article I found that I was unhappy with what I was producing because there seemed nothing to it.
I realised that there was nothing more that I could do with the information though, as it was an appeal for a missing man to local people. I therefore made sure that I had put everything that was factually relevant in.
The policeman residing over the case had commented on the situation and I felt it was necessary to put that in as a direct plea to the missing man himself.
A few days after I wrote the article, I checked the website to see if there was a big follow-up story that I could take on. There was an extremely small press release regarding the man having been found and very little information so I decided not to take on the follow – up piece.
