Advancer Story Plan
Posted by Robert Olsen on October 28, 2007
For the candidates profile stories, I’m going to interview Paul Zimmerman from the Civic Party and Siu Ka Yi from the DAB. The Civic Party is a new pan-democratic party, whereas the DAB is the most organised and well established party from the pro-Bejing side.
I have already contacted Paul previously so I was planning to interview him and take some photos whilst he’s out canvassing in his constituency on Stubbs Road. I realise that he has been very active in promoting urban planning and development so getting pictures and quotes related to those topics would be most appropriate. Mr Zimmerman is convenor of the Designing Hong Kong Harbour District and has written numerous stories for SCMP.
Siu Ka Yi is from the DAB, which always has the most supporters and candidates. She is running in the Tung Wah constituency for the Central and Western District Council. Her profession according to her nomination information is community co-ordinator. The material I get will largely depend on what I find out during the interview. I hope to get some photos of her ‘in action’ in her community with some colourful soundbites to go along with it. I haven’t found many online sources of information on Ms Siu.

Sounds like a good start and a manageable plan. Would be good to have a better sense of how you plan to present your story visually, and how you think you will structure your storytelling on the website.
