ASSIGNMENT FOUR
Write three pitches that you and some classmates can actually produce with the time and resources available to you.

The audience will be English speaking You Tube viewers. Your pitch should offer them something they cannot see elsewhere. This means slice of life and human interest stories are OK, but try to come up with some hard issue pieces or stories related to breaking news as well. Foreigners love to hear about: The Olympics, counterfeit or dangerous products, the environment and global warming, martial arts, student trends, China's economy, interesting tourist destinations, and anything unusual or surprising. Think about a story you would like to hear about in another country, and try it here.

Also think about the big stories in the world, and look for a Chinese connection. Are there Iraqi students here? Does China have an Islamic insurgency? What do Chinese students think about the US presidential race? Who is in charge at the Palestian Embassy here now that the Palestinians have split amid civil war?

Your pitch should include the names of the people you plan to interview, and the shots you plan to include.
The first pitch:

Now recently many American business people are interested in the Chinese stock market and they really wanted to know more about whether the Chinese government will take some measures to stop the calefactive economy in China! First I will invite some economic officers to make an interview to them. And I will invite he to talk about the original reasons that why the Chinese stock market is always going up so fast? And the point I want to know is that what the government does to the unbalanced economic situations.

The second pitch: Now we are interested to the coal mineral in China. And nowadays, there are many more accidents in China. According to the static of NYT, there are 2324 coal mineral accidents in China in the first half of this year. But we couldn’t know it from our own Medias. So I would like to invite some Chinese friends living in foreign countries to talk about the reasons. Maybe I will call them and interview them through the telephones.

The third pitch: Nowadays many Chinese young girls are tracing to get married to the old rich men; even they already have a wife. These girls are immersed in the money and couldn’t feel shy, because they think they have the rights to do everything just they like, and it’s just a kind of life attitudes in the daily life. So it’s very common in the China’s today! It’s difficult to find someone to talk about it, but we will try!
