I think that writing journalistically is difficult now, but I think with time it will end up being easier than academic writing. With academic writing, you have to "fluff" everything to make you sound smarter. And with journalistic writing, you just write the facts.
I think that it's tough now because most people in this class are not used to this different style of writing. I have been writing for academics my whole life, so I find this very hard to break myself from using sentences with a bunch of adjectives to try to describe things rather than to just write facts.
