Personal Storytelling Tip: The Sandwich Formula
As a young reporter, I developed a storytelling formula to help me efficiently craft compelling stories under tight deadlines. While every story might not fit this template perfectly, establishing a logical and personal style can significantly enhance your storytelling. Here’s my formula, which I call "The Sandwich":
Practical Tips for Applying the Formula
- Use Everyday People: Whenever possible, focus your story on everyday people. While it’s not always an option, taking advantage of this approach when available can make your stories more engaging and relatable.
- Be Flexible: While this formula provides a solid structure, don’t be afraid to adapt it to fit the unique needs of each story. The key is to maintain a logical and personal style that resonates with your audience.
By following this formula, you can develop a storytelling groove that enhances your efficiency and effectiveness as a reporter. Happy storytelling!
