How Sources Are Used (News Analysis Week 3)
BY JOE KELLY
A 5 Eyewitness News article reports that a St. Paul man was charged in the shooting of a bus driver on Interstate Highway 35W.
The story used three sources, and one of them was not named. Two of the sources include a release from the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, and the other was video evidence from MnDOT.
The third source was a criminal complaint, which gave descriptions of the order of events, but the source who provided the complaint wasn't named.
The sources follow each other throughout the story. The first source is the release which provides significant details, then the next paragraphs use the criminal complaint's information. The information from the video was inserted within the criminal complaint.
The writer attributes to the sources in a standard fashion, referring to them at the beginning or end of each paragraph. It is effective because it shows what information is confirmed by the Attorney's Office and which information is from somebody who witnessed the shooting.

How a Lede Can Be Used (News Analysis Week 2)
BY JOE KELLY
The Star Tribune's article, "A career of firsts and hurdles for St. Paul assistant police chief", starts with a startling narrative lede that leaves a lot of ambiguity and suspense.
The news elements included in the lede are the who, what, where, and when. The who is the most detailed, explaining that Wuorinen was new on the job as a cop. The what was also detailed because the article described Wuorinen was by herself on patrol, and then ends with the kid shooting at her.
The time is general, as the article states that the year is 1989, but didn't list out the month or date. The where was also general, because the author only mentioned that the event occurred in St. Paul.
Although the lede shares many of the same elements as a news story would, it's written to fit a personal profile story, because the who, what, where, and when in the lede don't include the main idea of the whole story. The story itself is about Kathy Wuorinen retiring after a successful and boundary-breaking career. The lede was used as an intriguing introduction to one of the many encounters Wuorinen faced in the field.
