    Very true. and I are working on a story about administrators, coaches and faculty that make over $100,000. Basketball and Football coaches usually make more than presidents.

    A8) Finding a central character is huge, like talking to a student who can no longer afford school after a tuition increase. Having someone who has been impacted by the process or policy tells the story in a unique way.

    Q8: Policy and process can be complex and boring. How can student journalists approach these types of administrative stories so that their audience cares?

    Right! What did they do at their last institutions? What were their priorities? How will they bring them to your university?

    A9: What these people do. Fancy titles are confusing and weird. What do they do? What do you see every day that they had a hand in?

    Q9: What are some administration-related stories that are important at all universities?

    A9) Track records. Most presidents of big time unis have presidential experience elsewhere. Are there any parallels in decision making/policies? Also, who gets paid the most? If your school has a bit time sports department or hospital, it isn’t your president.

    A9: There are always the traditional ones: tuition, food service concerns, curriculum, tech, the physical campus, parking, etc.

    A9: The presidential search story has been a big one at a lot of universities lately. Any big admin change is worth covering.

    A9: How much all administration are paid, what actions they are taking to move forward on policies, and the most important of all, the selection process of an outgoing president, who decides if it’s closed or an open door process?

    A9: Administration changes, especially if they are the president. Anytime there are policy changes, going to the administration for answers is also a good idea.

    Plus, if it doesn't matter to students, what's it doing in your student publication anyway?

    A8: Find the impact. Why should people care? Whose life/educational experience was/will be changed as a result of this decision?

    A8: The best way to get your readers interested in your story is through your lead. If you give them the most important information first, they will be more likely to read through the rest of your story.

    Good call. And it makes them more likely to take your call or answer your email when you need them!

    A8) first off, we have to educate ourselves on how this stuff works and why. From there, we have to figure out what matters and think. Why should students care that this property is being sold? How are these renovations affecting you?
