But full manual mode? Let's just say that I've been faking it until I make it.

When I started advising a scholastic newspaper, I was pretty sure that if I learned how to write like a journalist, I would be well on my way to a successful program. I wasn’t entirely wrong. Mastering news-writing skills is crucial for new journalists, and learning to write like a journalist means learning how to write well. As Tim Harrower points out in “Inside Reporting,” the lessons Hemingway learned during his time on the Kansas City Star “were the best rules [he] ever learned for the business of writing.” But the days when narrow rows of text ruled journalism are past. Today’s journalists need more than words to engage and inform their readerships. |
