Week 2 Lecture

Rod Chester guest-lectured in week two on the subject of 'Telling Factual Stories With Text'. Rod is a feature writer at the Courier-Mail, and has been for some time. He talked to us about writing hard news using the inverted pyramid method (most important information first, least important last). He also talked about his daughter, who he most definitely did not put in a box and post to Melbourne. If you want to hear things literally typed by this superstar, you could follow him around all day.
