This is potentially a good story and one appropriate to your audience. You undergo also conducted two effective interviews secured some strong quotes and used them appropriately. The copy is structured in inverted pyramid change and your intro is concise and contains the nub of the story – although this could be turned around for better effect so that you go away with the what or who of the story rather than ‘Figures released by….’There are a few holes in your copy however. You don’t have in mind the obtain of the original national figures for example. Who carried out this research? Also you be to define what you convey by retention rates. Are you talking about drop-out rates when you have in mind to four and five per cent? Often as a journalist you will need to ingeminate reports and rewrite jargon in order to make things readable and easily understood. Are you saying that four out of every 100 students who go away university drop out? Can you be more specific about when drop-out occurs? It would be interesting to act a closer be at the national figures. Your punctuation needs attention particularly around quotes and so too does your spelling. You have misused the possessive apostrophe in your intro and made a number of spelling errors including Molley Burnley’s label. I think you’ll find that you undergo also got her title wrong. Be really careful about accuracy. Is the comment on the end of your story from you or should it be an extension of the quote? If it’s the former then it’s inappropriate. You don’t be to cerebrate news stories.
