How Do We Structure Our Reports?
We start by researching the topic of the release. Once we have a good handle on the topic, we will map out a detailed plan for the piece. From there, we will take a crack at composing the report. Our goal is to come up with something that is both grammatically correct and highly compelling for the reader to keep them engaged and the information fresh in their minds. If we succeed, we have achieved our objective.
