Ok I'm not to sure how to ask this, but I will get to the point.
AS much as I love to write just about anything, writing a report (or outlined News) of a story that needs to be told, is complete block to me. I've only ever done Poetry and short stories (thou working on a novel), so a news report (article or whatever) is new to me. Despite my refusal, I have been ask to write up a report to pass on to a Newspaper or magazine,(a story I know they would want).
I gues on any normal day i would take this chance, but this report is related to a murder of a well-known and would blown Heaven & Hell apart with the information I've been given....(here I admit I knew the dead man well, and this is one reason I was asked to do this story). But I have no Idea how to write out what appears to be a draft press report. Could someone advise on the layout or point the way to a sample or template to reporting.
