BreAnna Watterson-Journalistic Writing

I had never been exposed to journalistic writing before until this class. I like it a whole lot better than academic style writing. For some reason, I thought all the stories you saw in newspapers were the same format learned in high school, academic style. I soon learned that was not true!

I think some of the differences between both of the writing styles is there are more a lot of rules to remember and there is no conclusion in journalistic writing compared to academic style writing. Also in journalistic writing spelling is very important especially when it comes to citing someone's name correctly!

For the most part I'm adapting fairly well to the switch with remembering all the rules and everything. I can't wait to learn more about other types of writing such as public relations and advertising!
