Five blogs dedicated to doughnuts:

I thought this site might find my press release interesting considering the blogger admitted they hadn’t updated their blog in forever. It’s a blog about doughnut shops making sandwiches out of their doughnuts.

This blog is a review bashing Dunkin Donuts and I thought the blogger might want to take a look at Holesome Donuts and review their doughnuts.

This blogger dedicated her blog to doughnut shops around the nation and also mentioned that she wanted to eat as many doughnuts as she could, at as many different donut shops across the United States. She also writes that anyone with information about good doughnuts should contact her, so I think this blog would also be a good target for my press release.

This post is about a girl going to a different doughnut shop every week for one year. I Thought she would be interested to visit Holesome Donut in her quest to find the perfect doughnut. 

This final blog post is a blogger writing about saving the doughnut industry in general. He writes that because of the no carb craze, certain people working in the sugar industry are losing their jobs. I believe he was really trying to mock the no carb trend and get people to laugh all the way to Krispy Kreme , but I thought he might get a kick out of a doughnut shop thriving and wanting to open more stores around the Sun Belt.

I listened to a story on my computer. It was a story on National Public Radio from Wednesday night and it talked about the coal mine explosion in West Virginia. The main difference I noticed from the beginning is that there were numerous sound bites. 

The story had a sound bite from a man who worked for Federal Mine Safety and another one from a reporter who was on the scene.  I believe the sound bite with the man working for Federal Mine Safety is called an actuality story. And the part where they had the reporter on the scene was a voicer. The audio in both cases were only about 10 seconds long but gave the story more description than what the news announcer gave.

I also noticed the sentences that the announcer said were shorter and more direct. The announcer actually didn’t say too much, she set up the story and then had sound bites to describe what was going on. I think if I were to put it in terms of a written story, the announcer said the lead and second paragraph and the sound bites did the rest of the story.
