Speeches and meetings are some of the most difficult topics to write about when it comes to a news article. Usually, these events include only the talking and dialect of a single person, with many others listening. The lack of action may seem daunting in that there is not enough to report on.
The first step is to make sure the reporter has all their facts straight. You want to know all relevant information about the person or persons giving the speech or holding the meeting. This will make it easier to write and give you better background on the people at hand.
A second step would be to figure out the speakers agenda. What were they trying to accomplish with this event? How did they go about doing that? Were they successful is proving their point? These key questions can help the writer identify how the speaker felt their performance went.
A final step is to gauge the audience. What do they want to hear? How has this provided them with a better or worse understanding of the topic? Did they enjoy the presentation or dislike the thing all together? The audience is a great meter to find whether the event was a success or a total failure.
