Journalism

Journalism, let's see...
     This will be a fairly short post. Journalism, or any newspaper article for that matter, I believe requires a sense of realism, conviction and tone.
     The realism has to be done by they way you describe things in detail, and how well you describe their detail. It's about telling people about what they didn't know and not only making them know it, but even want to know it. You have to seize what you want and pin people's attention down with your words.
     Your conviction is what makes people believe it. It's what makes them want to know it, because you're writing on it. You've got to convince them it matters.
     Tone, however, is particularly important... the way you write about it is the way they view it, or vise versa. One way or the other.
    If you write journalism for a living, I salute you. For though I am a writer, I'm only developing my journalism and news article skills. Good luck and happy writing.
