Writing Journalistically - Kylee Gwartney

Journalistic writing is very different from the academic writing I've been doing my entire life. Sometimes it's annoying to have to be so brief and only state the facts. I really love to write creatively so not being able to be even a little bit wordy or put my opinion in things is hard. I also think the AP Style book is pretty obnoxious. I realize it's important to promote consistency in publications' writing, but it's difficult to remember all the rules. I really like all the rules in Arnold for some reason though. They're very easy to remember and instantly improve my writing.
