It’s all about that story that connects emotionally

The one thing that remains constant: start with a good story, and everything else falls into place.

I often tell my students and those attending my seminars that the one thing that has NOT changed at all in my 43 years in this wonderful business of journalism and storytelling is having a GREAT story that appeals to the emotions. In Sunday’s New York Times, we find one such jewel. In a newspaper that includes 13 sections, this was the story for me. Don’t miss it! Adopted son finds his biological parents and rekindles their romance. The mother had gotten pregnant as a junior in high school. The son married them!
