In order to research further into my initial idea and to broaden my knowledge on what the charity are currently doing, I looked for their Facebook page as I thought this would provide me with some up to date news to give me some story ideas. I originally thought that focussing on the dogs that are housed at the farm would make for a good story as they are a very popular choice with visitors and people in general. I had a look at the page to see if they were hosting any events involving the dogs and found out that they just hosted a 'Dog Day' featuring agility shows, a fun dog show, raffles and stalls so there were plenty of activities and attractions for both dogs and visitors to take part in. This shows great enthusiasm to raise money for the charity and promote the cause and the dogs living at the farm. I think that a story like this would make for a great news piece as this shows the good work they're doing which is something people always want to see. It would also put a very positive spin on the piece, as we quite often hear news that is not so good, therefore good news can be quite refreshing and engaging, something that I have found when watching news myself.
