 Activity
Discussion of the different types of journalistic writing.

News writing

News writing follows a basic formula; there are key elements every news
story follows. While styles can diverge more dramatically depending on the kind
of story a feature story may look and sound very different than a hard news
one all news stories are cut from the same mold. The first element of news writing
is, of course, to deliver the news.

Who, What, When, Where and Why that every story should address.
Depending on what
-by shooting in a
city, we likely start with where the crime happened (what street or area
of town for the local paper) and who was involved.

Feature writing

Features do tend to take a more narrative approach, perhaps using opening

paragraphs as scene-setting narrative hooks instead of the delivery of the most
important facts. It tells the reader a story. It has a beginning (lead), middle and
end. It uses quotes liberally and allows the reader to see the story through
detailed description and vivid writing.

Editorial writing

reflects the majority vote of the editorial board, the governing body of the
newspaper made up of editors and business managers. It is usually unsigned.
Much in the same manner of a lawyer, editorial writers build on an argument
and try to persuade readers to think the same way they do. Editorials are
meant to influence public opinion, promote critical thinking, and sometimes
cause people to take action on an issue. In essence, an editorial is an
opinionated news story.

Sports writing

Sports journalism is a form of writing that reports on sporting topics and games.
While the sports department within some newspapers has been mockingly
called the toy department, because sports journalists do not concern
themselves with the 'serious' topics covered by the news desk, sports coverage
has grown in importance as sport has grown in wealth, power and influence.
