Until this semester, academic style writing has been drilled repeatedly into my mind. Now, faced with journalistic style writing, the challenges have been ironic yet endless.
Journalistic writing is actually much more simple and blunt in comparison with academic. It is written to inform about an issue, event, problem, etc that has some purpose in being told to the public. When I reminisce of writing in high school, a thesaurus is my first thought and there is no urgency for having my paper read by anyone but my teacher. If I used impressive language with symbolism had a grade-A paper.
Journalistic writing differs in purpose, audience and writing environment. Above these differences, it is crucial to the public. Using precision, perfect grammatical skills, and being ethical in every sense of diversity are just a few of the challenges I’ve faced so far. Factual errors are sometimes impossible to seek out, no matter how many times I read over my story.
