Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course in Journalistic Writing The title of a book is often the hardest part to write. The title of this book is admittedly a compromise. When the manuscript was submitted to various high-school and college teachers of the subject, each suggested a different title to express the content and purpose of the work - "News Writings," "English Composition with Journalistic Exercises," "Beginnings in Journalism," "Journalistic Writing," and others. The author admits that none exactly suits his idea, although essentially all signify the same effort - to utilize the interest in newspaper writing in the task of teaching students to write. To one teacher this may be merely English composition; to another it may be vocational or pre-vocational training. Each, however, is likely to use the same materials in much the same way. Whatever the title may be, the author has endeavored to put together the ingredients found in most courses of this type. The book is a new departure in that it is not concerned with journalism in the professional sense, as have been tho books written for newspaper workers and for students in the fully organized schools of journalism in the universities. It does not purpose to train newspaper workers, but it aims to be a textbook and course outline for teachers who are using newspaper writing as a stimulus to student effort in composition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials in Journalism: A Manual in Newspaper Making for College Classes Experience has been the stern schoolmaster of most present-day newspaper men. The road to recognition and to influence has presented manifold obstacles. In earlier days the aspirant in the field of journalism, beginning as a "printer's devil" who inked the rollers and swept out the back office, or as a callow "cub" reporter who "fell down" on important assignments, found every stage of his progress marked with hard knocks and meager pay. It is the remembrance of what they themselves have gone through or perhaps the fresh impression of some ambitious young fellow who is working out his salvation under their very eyes, that prompts these experts in the profession to declare that the newspaper office is and can be the only proper place to learn the newspaper business. Indeed, there are many newspaper men, even to-day, who are so firmly convinced of the primary importance of the city editor's blue pencil as the one essential in the reporter's education that the college candidate for reportorial work is not infrequently made the subject of pointed jests. The collegian is full of unpractical learning, old-timers say, too superior in his own conceit to learn from his fellows, fond of florid adjectives and of verbose rhetoric, not adapted for the swift gathering and writing of the news. Many of these impeachments are unfortunately true. The newcomer is handicapped by the fact that, before he can succeed, he must unlearn not a few things ingrafted by college training. He must keep on the level of common, everyday people and must remember he is writing for a newspaper and not for fame. As the days pass his style begins to lose its grandiloquent cast and his mind grows more discriminating and analytical. When once the college man has learned what newspaper work requires of him he has a better chance to succeed than the untrained man at the opposite desk. The importance of experience in a newspaper office cannot be minimized. Its instruction is sure, sound, practical.

Download or read book Newspaper Writing and Editing Classic Reprint written by Willard Grosvenor Bleyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Newspaper Writing and Editing Newspaper English has so long been regarded by many teachers of English as a term of reproach, and instruction in journalistic writing has been so recently introduced into the college curriculum, that some Eng lish instructors still question the value of systematic training of students in newspaper writing as a part of the teaching of English composition. Nevertheless, every teacher of English in the secondary schools and colleges recognizes the fact that one of the most seri ous weaknesses of present-day training in composition is the lack of a definite aim for the student in his writ ing, and a corresponding lack of interest on his part in doing work that has no real purpose. To report actual events for publication, either in a local newspaper or in a school paper, gives the student both material and pur pose, and to that extent increases his interest and his desire to write well. If the application of the principles of English composition to newspaper writing and edit ing can be demonstrated to the student, as the author has attempted to do in this book, the student can un doubtedly be given valuable practice in these principles through systematic training in newspaper work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Types of News Writing For systematic instruction in news writing it is desirable that students have in convenient form representative stories for study and analysis. N ews papers, it might be thought, would furnish this material, but experience has shown that it is often difficult to find, in current issues of newspapers, ex amples of the particular kind of story under consideration, and it is likewise difficult to supply every student in a large class with a copy of the issue that happens to contain the desired example. The selection of specimens for this book has been determined largely by two considerations: first, that the news which the story contains should be typical, rather than extraordinary or freakish and second, that the story should present the news effectively. It has been assumed that the student must first learn to handle average news well in order to grapple successfully with extraordinary happenings. A considerable part of the book deals with more or less routine news, because it is with this type that a large portion of the reporter's work is concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steps Into Journalism: Helps and Hints for Young Writers Charles Dudley Warner's bit of sarcasm, as usual with an epigram or a pearl, has a solid grain at the heart. Most newspaper readers do not realize that, journalism has grown to be a profession requiring every whit as hard study and preparation as medi cine or the law - that it is no easier to become a great editor than to attain distinction as a famous professor. Looked at in the light of this fact, the little that can be learned from the reading of a single book on the subject seems infinitesimal. And so it is, in 'a sense; yet for those who will patiently embody in actual practice the principles and suggestions here set down, the first and most important lessons will already have been learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Writing for Print: A Handbook in Journalistic Composition, With Suggestions on the Organization and Conduct of the High School Newspaper AN appreciation of good literature is seldom developed among young people by that minute analysis of those who apply the laboratory method to the study of literary masterpieces. Often the fact that a book has been read under a forced draft has produced a positive distaste for an author, and this has persisted long after graduation. Then, too, some of the books thus prescribed for compulsory reading have been selected by those who, forgetting what young people are like, have presumed too much upon the assimilative capacity of youth. It is here that writing for publication, for an actual audi ence, steps in to help the instructor in English composition. Young folk who were going into the factory or the home, and therefore have cared little for ordinary themes, realize for the first time the practical value of being able to use words and sentences correctly in reporting life around them. Clearness and force mean something more than rhetorical terms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Writing of News: A Handbook With Chapters on Newspaper Correspondence and Copy Reading In preparing this volume the author has had in mind the needs not only of students in schools of journalism, but of others who may desire a concise statement of the principles that govern the art of news writing as practiced by the American newspaper. It is hoped the book will prove helpful either as a laboratory guide in the school room or as a text book for home use. As the title indicates, the book deals with one phase of journalism, the presentation of the news story, more especially with the writing of the story - the reporter's part in the day's work. No attempt has been made to go into other aspects of journalism - the writing of editorials, the administrative features of the work, the delicate adjustment that every newspaper must make between its business and news departments except in so far as they bear directly upon the subject in hand. The term journalism is broadly used here to mean all branches of newspaper endeavor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Newspaper Writing in High Schools: Containing an Outline for the Use of Teachers A discussion of Newspaper Writing in high schools would, a few years ago, have had to deal at length with the reasons for such a course - excuses rather than reasons, they would have been called by most school-men. But today the place of Newspaper Writing in the general scheme of language instruction is coming to be recognized. By no means all who were suspicious of the "fad" have become friendly, but most of them are at least tolerant. Best of all, the dislike of teachers of English composition for methods that were making somewhat vociferous claims of being "practical" and for "writing" that was associated with a word having such connotations of haste and slovenliness and inaccuracy as "newspaper," has softened into something quite like interest, if not approval. Newspaper Writing is winning a place for itself. That it must still work hard to achieve good standing in educational circles is not a cause for complaint. Those who hold any field are quite right in asking to see the passports of newcomers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Clear and Simple as the Truth written by Francis-Noël Thomas and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone talks about style, but no one explains it. The authors of this book do; and in doing so, they provoke the reader to consider style, not as an elegant accessory of effective prose, but as its very heart. At a time when writing skills have virtually disappeared, what can be done? If only people learned the principles of verbal correctness, the essential rules, wouldn't good prose simply fall into place? Thomas and Turner say no. Attending to rules of grammar, sense, and sentence structure will no more lead to effective prose than knowing the mechanics of a golf swing will lead to a hole-in-one. Furthermore, ten-step programs to better writing exacerbate the problem by failing to recognize, as Thomas and Turner point out, that there are many styles with different standards. In the first half of Clear and Simple, the authors introduce a range of styles--reflexive, practical, plain, contemplative, romantic, prophetic, and others--contrasting them to classic style. Its principles are simple: The writer adopts the pose that the motive is truth, the purpose is presentation, the reader is an intellectual equal, and the occasion is informal. Classic style is at home in everything from business memos to personal letters, from magazine articles to university writing. The second half of the book is a tour of examples--the exquisite and the execrable--showing what has worked and what hasn't. Classic prose is found everywhere: from Thomas Jefferson to Junichirō Tanizaki, from Mark Twain to the observations of an undergraduate. Here are many fine performances in classic style, each clear and simple as the truth. Originally published in 1994.
