COMM 337- Chp. 1 The Journalist's Craft

Chapter 1 has some important things that I use as a professional writer. for instance, the six questions on pg. 3-4 go into a good discussion on how a reporter should use the questions. Also, the section about the lead is very important because it describes how and when a reporter should use the inverted pyramid, but also learn to use the basic news story format writing.

Finally, accuracy is very important because a reporter must spell names correctly, use numbers and names of streets, etc. Therefore, these few tips are what can help me be a professional writer and end up writing a good story for people to read and get an idea of what is happening in society.
