Looks like I'm working today. Just covered a drug bust related accident. So I have to write up the piece. Got video footage of the suspect, photos of everything. It was fun having one slow day...

Do you have to write about this accident as a journalist?

I cover specific breaking news. While someone else might cover something else they are assigned.

once you have the five W's, its easy to write, just gotta fill in the middles to tie it all together.

No fill-ins. As a reporter, I just report the facts.

That is really interesting. I like stories you can really sink your teeth into.

You are a journalist by trade? Or a police officer?
