So for my school newspaper, Im writing about the Large Hadron Collider,
And instead of just writing it like a plain story, i want to do a questions and answers sort-of-thing.
like this:

Right here would be a general question,in bold, about it, for example: So what exactly does the Large Hadron Collider do?

Then right here i would just talk about what it really does, But with my own research and im answering it myself.


Is this okay in journalism?

This is our first newspaper of the year, So im really nervous and I dont want to mess this up. =]
 
It's fine as a technique. I wouldn't overuse it, but for complicated subjects -- and this one seems to qualify -- it can be helpful.

It's generally used as a "second story." For example, the main story might be on the financial bailout, and then there is a Q&A on what it means to the consumer.
