      Snow Fall"Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek” won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. On Dec. 20, 2012, The New York Times published on its web site the deeply reported tale by John Branch. It instantly became a storytelling sensation. For those who had worried about the future of longer form storytelling in the digital age, the future had suddenly, spectacularly arrived. Compare and contrast such feature writing with writing "hard-news." Prepare a hard-news lead designed to capture the central event reported in Branch's "Snow Fall."

      For example, xxx SEATTLE, Washington, Feb. 19 -- An avalanche swept three top U.S. skiers to their deaths on Sunday, each a backcountry expert familiar with the risks, at an off-trail pass of Washington state's Cascade mountains, rescue officials said. xxx

Go back to official sources whenever possible to confirm details in published reports. All group members should review the report before it is formally submitted and make suggestions to the editor for improving it.  The editor has the final say. Each member of the group will receive the same grade for the group's finished product.
