Boy caught on camera filling empty candy bowl with his own candy

In this article and story, it talks about how a young boy does an act of kindness by filling his own trick or treating candy into an empty left on its own bowl at a strangers doorstep. In this story the reporter does a really good job of telling a story. From beginning, middle, and end. Also has a very good light tone to the story. Makes the viewer feel like they are seeing something that is actually good in the world.

Something that the reporter could have done well was that they could have provided a little bit more of a backstory like maybe featuring the the boy and his family life. They also could have used more interviews from other people to get a better insight and feel of the story. it would have been cool if they would have got an interview with the young boy and ask him his thoughts about why he did this for the good of others!

A few ways that I would implement this in to my own reporting would be that I would try to find as many good heartwarming stories for the viewers to be pleased. I think that another thing that I could implement is that to make sure you have enough interviews on the story to give a full view from every aspect and angle of the story.
