News vs. Stories: What's the Diff?

News is coverage of a specific current or recent event. Here are some examples:

• A faculty member just published a new book
• A graduate student had a journal article published
• An undergraduate student won a campus award
• A class is partnering with a community to research something
• A cohort took a field trip off campus

Stories dig deeper, either into a person's life/background or a specific topic. You may have a story idea if you think:

• [Insert person here] has a really interesting backstory that I'm curious about
• [Insert person here] does unique research. I wonder what got them started?
• What's the deal with [insert topic here] anyway?
• [Insert person here] is doing really cool work in [insert topic here] and I want to learn more.
• I want to know how to [insert problem/question] here; surely someone at Nelson has expertise in this area.
