      Building BlocksHere's a rundown on the building blocks of newswriting, drawn largely from the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy -- a Harvard University research center on the intersection of press, politics and public policy in theory and practice. The Center aims to  bridge the gap between journalists and scholars, and between them and the public. For more information about this, visit http://shorensteincenter.org/

      3 ways to find and fix mistakes in your writing

      By Vicki Krueger • October 17, 2016     

      In the crush of deadline, it's easy for mistakes to creep into your writing. Even more, errors can happen at any point in the process. Whether you're writing a tweet, a breaking news story, an email or a book, here are some ways to find and fix those mistakes before you hit send.

      • Pick out and highlight the who, what, where, when, why and how in your writing. You'll see whether you've left out any key information and whether the facts are in a logical order for readers.
      • Print out a copy of your story and read it aloud, touching every word with a pen or pencil to catch those mistakes that you might miss with a cursory review.
      • Do not multitask when editing. You can't find all the spelling, fact and grammar errors in just one editing pass. Prioritize the list of errors you are looking for and then work down the list, hitting the most important ones first.

      Group imagePlease submit a group report, of up to 400 words, for Week 2. The deadline is 12:00 (noon) on Sunday, Oct. 23. The group's rotating editor alone should file this report for the group. Only online text may be submitted, not attachments for downloading or uploading. Please make sure to include a headline with your piece, which should weave together more than one development in the area that you are monitoring. Make sure to include the necessary background information so that readers have a complete picture of the latest events, in context. We are testing the elearning system's ability to let each group submit its assignment this week via this web site. The rotating editor should list her name on the report on behalf of her group. All group members should review the report before it is formally submitted and make suggestions to the editor for improving it.   

    • Finding Good Leads واجب

      Journalism Image Each student should examine the lead used by three different English-language news organizations for a breaking news story. Stick to the area that your group is monitoring. Cut and paste all three leads into your assignment and explain which one you think is best and why. Identify the source (i.e., the publisher) of each of the leads. Also, try to come up with an even better lead of your own, for instance by combining bits of the three that you're examining and/or by scrutinizing the stories themselves. Submit up to 300 words by noon on Friday, Oct. 21, by cutting and pasting online text, not an attachment. Make sure to include both your name and your group's name with your submission.

      Earthquake Sisustan ImageHere's a sample report on Prime Minister's Holly Golly's earthquake-related news conference in Tangtok, India. Please note that the emphasis is now on her appeal for more international help -- which is the main development in the story. At the same time, we're updating the casualty toll. This is called twinning the lead -- that is, incorporating two different developments, albeit in two separate sentences in this case.
