Reporting to Surprise

I've read in Murray's chapter that when it comes to "reporting to surprise", the author needs to use ten senses. They are sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, self, change, effect, conflict, and context. The sight sense is all about seeing what the writer can visualize. Hearing is all about listening and expecting what to hear. Tasting the sense of writing would help make the story come to life if you can crave it. Touching is getting a feel of what you're writing about. Knowing what you are writing about and who for. Smelling in what is being described as a detail in a story. You can almost sense a patch of brownies coming out of the oven and smelling fresh. Changing is all about being aware and the writer will make many of those. Effect can have a big impact, especially on journalists in which they do not always possess the quality of a persistant feeling of how the news will effect his/her audiences. Conflicts come and go and they occur a lot in the media. And finally, context is another mishap of journalism. They need to talk about the importance of the context more often.
