Some stories in journalism almost write themselves and command instant strong reader interest, especially if you're writing about TTT (Timbs' Top Topics) for journalists.
TTT:
1. UFOs or extraterrestials (I'd love to break the story about our first visitors from another planet or galaxy. Even the speculation that they're already among us generates a lot of tantalizing intrigue and mystery.)
2. Death
3. Sex or sexuality (We all want to do "it" or are interested in "it," so why not explore "it" as journalists?)
4. religion and/or spirituality
5. dogs (That's right, dogs, not cats)
6. snakes (pray, if you're a journalist, that someone in your community encounters a poisonous snake)
7. health, fitness or nutrition
Concerning #6 on my above list, a story in yesterday's Charlotte Observer, about a man who nearly stepped on a giant rattlesnake at a S.C. beach, caught my attention.
Danger other than sharks lurks at our beaches.
