For this assignment, you are going to practice rewriting a press release into a news story. REWRITE the following information into a short news story of five to seven paragraphs.Before you begin writing, consider the following:

• What is the purpose of the release: news, information about an event that you can attend, or a statement/reaction to an issue?
• Why would a reader care? Will some readers care more than others? Does your lead reflect that?
• How does the purpose of the press release differ from the purpose of your news story? Were you careful to focus only on the news value?
• Did you use AP Style? The press release sometimes didn't. Did you find those spots and correct them?
• Can you improve the informational value by doing your own research and adding relevant background information?
