Sperm run of Speculation !

How to make a breaking news from a Raw Information ? Here's a first lesson with Illustration.

Mango juice off CM's menu

There is intense speculation as to what kept Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi from attending the meeting organised to thank voters in his constituency, Chepauk, last week.

A glass of cold mango juice was found to be the culprit. He developed mild flu by evening. From now on, there will be no mango juice on his menu till the prolonged summer gets over, it is learnt.

Thanks to Hindu for the news. But this is no way to make news. Lets rephrase.

Karunanidhi Quits Drinking Mango Juice. (You know the long gone Subject Predicate formula !)

Let us go further. Generalize.

The Rising Sun denies Mango. (Udhaya Soorian, Maambazhaththai Niraagarikkiradhu !)

After generalizing, lets get specific.

DMK and PMK friction, rumoured.

Then add the masala flavour, and your Breaking News is ready. Just dont forget to add a question mark before you sell.

DMK - PMK Split ?
