Lecture 5 writing a news feature
The document provides guidance for writing a news feature story, including exploring an issue in-depth, using characters and descriptions, following a logical writing process of outlining and drafting, and ensuring the story has an interesting lead, beginning, middle, end, and conclusion. It emphasizes the importance of research, finding a clear focus and angle, using quotes and facts, and thoroughly editing the piece before publication.
Structure of a Feature Story
This document provides guidance on structuring a feature article. It discusses including a strong lead paragraph to hook the reader, followed by a "nut graph" that summarizes the main point. The body should alternate between quotes and observations to tell the story. It can have a chronological, narrative, or other structure. The ending should tie back to the beginning or leave things unresolved. Proper structure helps turn interviews and facts into an engaging narrative that readers will enjoy.
News story vs. gossip
Writing news stories in the age of gossip ("tsismis") and texting requires adapting to how people consume information today. News writers need to incorporate the elements that make gossip appealing - like timeliness, prominence, and conflict - while maintaining accuracy, attributing sources properly, and giving all sides fairly. To succeed, writers should gather information through research and interviews, structure stories clearly, use vivid examples and quotes, and craft leads and endings that draw readers in. Above all, journalists must follow ethical standards of objectivity, avoiding obscenity or ridicule, and assuming innocence until proven guilty.
Style of Feature Writing
This document provides guidance on writing feature stories. It discusses analyzing features by considering the topic, angle, main characters, and point of view. It emphasizes using descriptive language through detailed observations, sensory descriptions, imagery, quotes, and varying sentence structures. Focalization, or point of view, should be carefully considered. Imagery, including similes, metaphors, metonyms, and personification, brings stories to life. Overall, feature writing aims to immerse readers through vivid storytelling that creates mental images.
Inverted pyramid style of news writing
The inverted pyramid is a structure used by journalists to prioritize and organize information in a news story by presenting the most important details at the top, with each subsequent paragraph containing less essential information. It follows a who, what, when, where, why structure and allows readers to understand the key points even if they do not read the entire story. This format also makes it easy for editors to cut less important details from the bottom for space or time. While it developed alongside the telegraph, the inverted pyramid structure did not become widely adopted for several decades.

Here are some things that could be improved in this news story:
- The lead uses "our school" which is not objective third person writing.
- The quote from Andy Opel is not attributed properly and uses first person "I". Quotes should be attributed as "Andy Opel said".
- The paragraph about the TCRT program is wordy and could be more concise.
- The quote from Mr. Brown is not attributed properly and uses first person "our". It should be "Mr. Brown said".
- The final quote from Andy Opel repeats information and is redundant. It also uses first person "That's".
Overall, the story needs to be rewritten in objective

Newswriting
This document discusses what constitutes news and the factors that make an event newsworthy. It states that news must be factual but not all facts are considered news. Several elements are described as making an event or story more newsworthy, including if it involves prominent people, has an impact on or close proximity to readers, creates conflict or appeals to human emotion. The document also differentiates between "hard news" which is important factual information, and "soft news" which is more entertaining. It outlines various types and styles of news stories and leads.

Basics of News Writing
News writing provides important information to readers in an organized structure. It follows an inverted pyramid structure, flowing from most important to least important information. The headline, byline, lead, and body are the main components of a news story. The lead captures the key details in one to two sentences to interest readers. The body then provides additional context and quotes while maintaining short paragraphs and simple language. Proper use of attribution, transitions, and grammar are important for clarity and readability. The overall goal is to concisely yet engagingly inform readers of essential details in the clearest manner.

Chapter 6 a straight news story
A straight news story reports on a recent event within 24 hours in a factual manner without personal interpretation. It follows an inverted pyramid structure with the most important facts at the top. When writing a news story, journalists must protect themselves from libel by carefully attributing all facts and quotes to sources. Direct quotations should be used sparingly and attributed properly based on punctuation rules.
The structure of a news story
The document discusses different structures for news stories, including the inverted pyramid, narrative, and hourglass structures. The inverted pyramid is the most popular as it places the most important information at the beginning. However, narrative and hourglass structures allow for more character and story development. Regardless of structure, news stories should focus the information around the key details in the lead paragraph.
Introduction to Journalism
This document provides an introduction to journalism concepts like the inverted pyramid structure and 5 Ws (who, what, when, where, why).

Inverted pyramid ppt
The document discusses the inverted pyramid principle of journalism, which states that news articles should present the most important information at the top, with each subsequent paragraph providing progressively less essential details. It originated with 19th century wartime reporters transmitting stories by telegraph, who wanted crucial facts to transmit first in case the connection failed. The principle remains relevant today because busy readers expect the most significant details up front, or they will stop reading. The inverted pyramid guides writers to start with the key points and facts of the story before adding any additional context or background.
Broadcast writing
The document discusses best practices for writing news stories for radio and television broadcasts. It provides guidance on structuring attribution, using quotes, and following specific formatting conventions. Key points covered include using action verbs and writing out numbers, dollars and percents for radio.

how to weight loss fast
Slim Leaf is a weight loss supplement that flips the “sugar switch” in the body. This helps with a range of benefits like metabolism maintenance and balancing of carbs.
sleam leaf
In just about a month that I've been using it, I've had a noticeable reduction in feelings of stress, and the fat around my belly, both front and sides, seems to be finally melting away! The best effect has been my ability to fast from dinner until lunch the next day, without the feeling that I'm starving-- there's been a noticeable evening out of my blood sugar levels that enables me to go further between meals than I've been able to go for a long time. I know that it's working, because I'm doing nothing else differently. AMAZING product!"
The fat began piling on like it was nobody’s business
At the very least, I was eager to give it a try.
Not to mention, I wanted to get some for my husband too.
So I pleaded to let me try her Holy Basil “weight loss” tea…
She smiled and said she’d bring me some the next day.
It wasn’t long before I had my own supply of Emily's Holy Basil.
Of course, I explained everything to my husband - and he decided it couldn’t hurt to try.
So using the Holy Basil Emily got for me, I prepared the tea, following her exact instructions.
Which by the way, took several hours…
Because it required me to measure out the exact amounts, the right temperature and so on.
I also made sure not to change anything about my eating habits, lifestyle or exercise…
Because we wanted to keep this experiment as “accurate” as possible.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
