Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK "Basic Grammar for Journalistic Writing: An Introductory Text" is relevant in the enrichment of writing and speaking skills of journalists and all other learners of English Grammar. Most books on journalistic writing treat stages and appeals in writing but neglect practical application of grammar and mechanics. However, this book takes excellent steps in surmounting the challenge most students and even professionals of journalism and English Grammar have in writing good stories and articles as regards grammar and mechanics. It gives due consideration to the general structure of English Grammar, squeezing the numerous rules on usages into a better understandable number. The book vividly treats English Grammar in the first five chapters and then delves into application of the rules of grammar in writing journalistic forms - news, feature, editorial, commentary, column, interpretation, investigation and review. This resource material also treats how high school students can identify grammatical names and functions of certain expressions in examination situations and otherwise. The practical application of the basics of English Grammar in sample pieces (including online pieces) makes the book "a must read" for students of Mass Communication, trained journalists, English Language Instructors, Citizen Journalists (ordinary people who report events on the internet) and all learners of English Grammar.

Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Book excerpt: A first-of-its-kind guide for new media times, this book provides practical, step-by-step instructions for writing first-person features, essays, and digital content. Combining journalism techniques with self-exploration and personal storytelling, First-Person Journalism is designed to help writers to develop their personal voice and establish a narrative stance. The book introduces nine elements of first-person journalism—passion, self-reporting, stance, observation, attribution, counterpoints, time travel, the mix, and impact. Two introductory chapters define first-person journalism and its value in building trust with a public now skeptical of traditional news media. The nine practice chapters that follow each focus on one first-person element, presenting a sequence of "voice lessons" with a culminating writing assignment, such as a personal trend story or an open letter. Examples are drawn from diverse nonfiction writers and journalists, including Ta-Nehisi Coates, Joan Didion, Helen Garner, Alex Tizon, and James Baldwin. Together, the book provides a fresh look at the craft of nonfiction, offering much-needed advice on writing with style, authority, and a unique point of view. Written with a knowledge of the rapidly changing digital media environment, First-Person Journalism is a key text for journalism and media students interested in personal nonfiction, as well as for early-career nonfiction writers looking to develop this narrative form.
