10 Basic Pillars To get You Started 1. Gives a unique angle to a told
story
2. Shares new information
3. Has a backbone of a strong intro,
body, and conclusion
4. Is not thin content (i.e., doesn’t
simply identify a problem without
really giving any solutions)
5. Is newsworthy: creates a stir, is
tied to a current event, and doesn’t
cover stale news
6. Is backed up by research
7. Offers a solution
8. Has a clear audience in mind
9. Demonstrates why the topic is
important and whom it affects
10. Passes the “so what?” test
