Hello Readers,

What is Journalism?
According to American Press Institute, "Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information. It is also the product of these activities.
Journalism can be distinguished from other activities and products by certain identifiable characteristics and practices. These elements not only separate journalism from other forms of communication, they are what make it indispensable to democratic societies. History reveals that the more democratic a society, the more news and information it tends to have."
Types Of Journalism:
There are five principal types of journalism:
1.Investigative,
2.News,
3.Reviews,
4.Columns &
5.Feature writing.
Feature Writing:
Feature Journalism is creative journalism. It escapes the hard-news format allowing the creative writers among us to write feature articles in an inventive and compelling way. Unlike short and to-the-point news articles, feature articles deal with a subject in greater depth and, usually, at greater length. Features are more in-depth than traditional news stories. The purpose of these stories is to provide a detailed description of a place, person, idea, or organization.
Leading Writing:
In journalism, the beginning sentences of a news story are everything. Called leads or “ledes,” they must convey essential information, set the tone and entice people to continue reading. If you're interested in becoming an expert journalist, understanding how to write a lead is a key skill for your toolbox. There are two types of leads for any story:
1.Direct &
2.Delayed.
