Journalistic Writing- Holly Dahlgren

Journalistic writing is easier for me than academic writing for several reasons. I love how short paragraphs have to be! My main problem with academic writing was length. I could never find enough to write about. With journalistic writing, I like how journalists get right to the point and you do not have to do too many steps. It is also easier for me to write in descending order of importance, because it gives you so much more to write about at the beginning, and when you need to end your story you know exactly what you have to put. I love using the AP stylebook because it shows me things that I would have never thought about changing. It has taught me alot!
