ABSTRACT

Everything you read should lead to dozens of ideas for other articles. The original article does not have to be a feature article, though it might be.

A news report on a local burglar receiving community service might lead to a feature on whether community service works or what community service actually is or a look at places in your community that have been improved by community service or a feature on different types of punishment or an analysis of why people become burglars or how to protect your own property or how you would react if your own child was a burglar or interesting burglars in literature or where the word swag comes from, and so on.
