Read 2-3 articles published in this publication/department and look for ways that you can improve both of them. It's best to look for a common theme. For instance, the ending paragraph may be lacking in drama and impact.

Follow through with an example of how you've done that before and wrap everything up with a summary sentence that brings attention back to the benefit.
