"Journalism is literature in a hurry." Matthew Arnold
Update: You do not need to further correct the breaking news leads we worked on in class. Consider that in-class practice. However, if you would like to rework them, I would be happy to review on Tuesday.
Due Tues., Jan. 28: HOMEWORK: Complete the handout titled "Exercise 2: Writing Leads" following the format we used today in class, with a byline and a dateline (place only, no date). Use your AP Stylebook where needed. If you struggle with these, read some breaking news leads online or in a paper. The Hartford Courant, which we used in class, is easily accessible online.
Due by Thursday, Jan. 30: READING: Mencher: Chapters 1 (On the Job), 2 (Components of a Story), and 4 (The Internet and Other Tools of the Trade).
