Find a news article from your favorite newspaper or from your favorite writer and try to work backward to see how the reporter put the story together, looking especially at the use of documents, observation and talk. Also consider whether the information has been gathered through a process of addition, in which information has been strung together, or through a process of filtration, in which comparisons are made and context is provided.
