What makes a speech or meeting story interesting? How can a writer prepare?

Speech or meeting stories may not always be the most interesting to read.

Therefore, it is the journalist's job to make the story sound interesting so the readers will stay interested.

These kinds of stories can be interesting because the person giving the speech or the members of the meeting

usually are announcing important news or making an important decision. And it is up to the journalist to

portray that information in an interesting way.

The journalist should be well aquainted with the topic and the information he/she is going to present.

They should also have background information on the speaker or members of the committee that is

making the decision.
