It could be an investigation of a current issue that has a local impact: how does one live in New York working a minimum wage job? An inside look at a local institution: how does a commercial real estate company operate? A portrayal of a current trend: how do people use instagram and how does it impact social life?
As with your in depth profile, the key is to create a compelling story with journalistic standards of evidence. In other words, be careful to verify information using reliable sources. If you are interviewing someone, ask yourself what is their knowledge based upon. If there are multiple viewpoints on a topic, be sure to include interviews with people who represent those multiple viewpoints. Do your best to verify facts with multiple sources. And of course, list all your sources and keep your notes well organized.
References/Notes: Include a list of people you interviewed with their contact information, along with complete citations for all books and articles you consulted to verify the facts in your essays. Ideally, every fact should be supported by at least two different sources. If you find the information on the web, ask yourself how reliable the website is. In some cases, I may ask you to provide me with notes from your interviews or observations, so be sure to save these and keep them well organized with dates, times, location etc.
