Journalism

 Hello friends

         

      " The most important sentence in any article is the first one. If it doesn’t induce the reader to proceed to the second sentence, your article is dead.” — William Zinsser, On Writing Well

       Welcome to my blog. Here I am going to talk about Journalism. This task is assigned by Vaidehi ma'am. Here in which we are supposed to write about Lead writing and Feature writing. Here we have to write an example of Lead writing or Feature writing.

        So first we have to know about Lead writing and Feature writing. So let's see…...

         As we know that Journalism is the production and distribution of reports on current events based on facts and supported with proof or evidence.

Lead writing  :--

Two types of leads

             There are two main types of leads and many, many variations thereof. These are:

The summary lead

Most often found in straight news reports, this is the trusty inverted-pyramid lead we learned about in Journalism 101. It sums up the situation succinctly, giving the reader the most important facts first. In this type of lead, you want to determine which aspect of the story — who, what, when, where, why and how — is most important to the reader and present those facts.

A creative or descriptive lead :

This can be an anecdote, an observation, a quirky fact or a funny story, among other things. Better suited to feature stories and blog posts, these leads are designed to pique readers’ curiosity and draw them into the story. If you go this route, make sure to provide broader detail and context in the few sentences following your lead.

Thank you.........
