GROUND IS BROKEN ON NEW JOURNALISM INSTITUTE
Missourian story pays little attention to detail.
While I am excited to see the progress being made on the Reynolds Journalism Institute, I was disappointed in this story by the lack of detail presented by the reporter, Shannan Tucker. She mentions nothing about when construction will officially begin on the institute or a tentative finish date for the project. Also when she said that the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation "made the largest private donation in MU history," she gave no detail as to how much it was. Tucker only said the entire project would cost $31 million. There's also no detail given as to how many people attended the groundbreaking yesterday.
It has interesting anecdotes, for example, "The shovel was in fact the one used in 1919 to break ground for nearby Neff Hall," but when the reporter says that the institute is going to improve journalism, I'd like to know how specifically. There are a lot of unanswered questions in this story. Are they going to have more classrooms dedicated to the new convergence sequence? What kind of new technology will be available in the institute?

Unless your stories are for a local audience, you need to provide more details.
