Ideas for stories

1. Senior Star Story Ideas
Are you stuck for ideas? Griffith University journalism intern
Marine Pintena shares some of her tips on how to score a
great story!
Let's revive your Grandparents LoveStories!
Who ever wondered how their grandparents fell in love? Was it at
first sight? Or was it years after their first meeting? Were they kids,
teenagers or adults? What happened the first time they met? How
did they meet? But above all, how did they manage to make their
love last through all these years?
There are always great things to find when investigating the past.
Ask your grandparents to reveal what might be one of the most
beautiful love stories you have ever heard. They are plenty of
questions waiting to be answered and wonderful stories waiting to
be revealed.
Your grandparents could be the next stars at one of our
exhibitions. Pictures also make great stories so don't hesitate to
include one or two if you can find some.
