Dear Feature Writers:
Do read (today’s NYT) Michael Barbaro’s profile on Chirlane McCray, “Once Alienated, and Now a Force In Her Husband’s Bid for Mayor,” a feature onĀ Chirlane McCray, whose husband, Bill de Blasio, is now the front-runner to become the next mayor of New York.
We will continue discussing drafts of your Profiles on Thursday. Be prepared to describe the arc (design) of your story: how do you move forward from your lede to the finale?
Also due: 250 words small business proposal (hand in hard copies and upload to blog) and Joseph Mitchell reading (Joe Gould’s Secret).
