You could always pull some topics from whats happening in the world today. You could also tackle topics that are controversial. I think one topic that might be interesting is "How liberal is the media".\n\nBeing that you are interested in Conservative Journalism you may want to read "Letters to a Young Conservative" by Dinesh D'Souza. You can find it at amazon.com or your local library may have it.\n\nGood luck with your endeavor!

Check out foxnews.com. They did an extensive investigative report on post war Iraq a while back.  Based upon what they found the country is thriving.\n\nAs for the media they look for stories that have two factors.  First the story must have an excitement factor in order to get an audience.  Second it must fall within limits of what is acceptable to the liberals who own the media outlets.  Except for FOX and some local independent papers and news stations most media follows these two unwritten but mutually understood rules.

Pick a topic that really interests you and is mentioned in the press but not constantly.  I would not pick the war in Iraq, for example.  Maybe I would write about U.N. policy towards Palestine or Yugoslavia instead, or the Somalian situation.  Research thoroughly and get quotes.  Get statistics and real life stories.  Develop a set of themes and general summary.  Then outline each paragraph with a main point and shape the sentences around that point.  Do not avoid descriptive, metaphorical language and sound political, emotional and yet scientifically accurate.\n\nI cannot stress enough how important it is to know your topic matter and to pick something you are interested in and learn from.  Years ago, I had to write an article on Pakistan and hated it.  It wasn't an interesting country at all and information on events there are inaccurate and underreported.  I had no say in the matter.  We had an impromptu 'U.N. conference' skit and day dedication in history class.

You need to decide whether you are writing a news piece or a feature. \n\nie Girl with body piercings gets stuck to fridge!\n\nor Body piercings? Are they magnetising our children?\n\nThen go and buy a newspaper and see how journalists structure these pieces. Example: health features are often built around a 'recent report'.
