Upload to Turnitin.com an informal report on your progress for Article 2.

1. What interviews have you conducted? (In person, by telephone, by e-mail?)
   
2. What interviews have you scheduled? (In person, by telephone, by e-mail?)
3. What interview subjects have you identified, but not yet approached? (In person, by telephone, by e-mail?)
4. What background research have you conducted (links to or quotations from specific articles that have helped you begin your work; book chapters, handouts, or other resources that have helped you get started; other planning?)
   
5. What changes, if any, did you make to your angle in order to make it more newsworthy (relevant to a wide number of readers, not just those who already happen to be interested in your chosen subject; tied to an event that is current, not old news; etc.)
6. Draft your lead, based on the information you have already gathered.
7. Is there a key person that you absolutely must interview, or the story will fall apart?
   
• If you have already done your most important interviews, good for you! 
  
• If not, what is your backup plan, if it turns out you can't get that interview in time?
  
8. What, if anything, can I do for you at this point to help you do your best work?
