        <td> I am star. Of course you knew that. However, this time <b>this</b> Grace Kelly is in a film! I am in a very excellent film about the use of volunteers and "crowd sourcing" to tell the news by Mike McIntee. This is part of &nbsp;a number of stories on how to do citizen journalism put together by Youtube.
<p>There is the hilarious AP video reporting on to do accountability news. There are the really useful hints that come from NPR's Scott Simon. Scott Simon says to use fewer dependent clauses, which is a good tip for me, not that I ever use dependent clauses. Scott Simon teaches basic storytelling: have a point, make it memorable, have a good first line and keep it fun. 
<p>Bob Woodward tells the best compelling story about getting the facts in a story right. Bob tells how he almost associated the worst restaurant with the wrong hotel. It would have been on the front page!
<p>Stories are obviously better with people followed by numbers, &nbsp;a tip from Lizzie O'Leary. Stories are obviously better with conversations instead of a stilted set of interview questions, a tip from Tavis Smiley. Video stories have more impact, sometimes a video even needs to pause to let the story sink in, a tip from Time's Jost Tyrangiel.
