Long before Diane Sawyer became the anchor of ABC's World News Tonight, she did an interview in which she spoke about what kind of stories producers love, and what makes a great headline. For example, Sawyer talks about how this sentence: "This is a committee meeting which is very important politically," becomes more compelling when re-written as "This is a political time bomb - disguised as another government meeting." Take a quick read of this brief interview for other interesting nuggets.
