Writing about Speeches, Meetings and more

A speech or a meeting story can be a very interesting way to divulge or to pass on information because usually this is the first time people are hearing about this information.


Whether it is a news conference, a small meeting between politicians or a large scale press conference with someone as important as the President of the United States, a writer must always be able to make the information sound interesting, because people will shy away from pieces that are less interesting.


When writing about a speech, one must be able to develop a good lead and one must also be able to keep the readers interest by writing about key points and key issues.


When writing about a meeting, it is sometimes very tough to make the story sound interesting. As stated in “Telling the Story,” one way to make a meeting story interesting is to find information that is pertinent to your audience and that relates to their well being.


When writing about a news conference, since many topics are usually discussed, according to the book, “Telling the Story,” it is the writers job to figure out the important issues and present them first in your story.
