Print Journalism
"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin
Throughout my first year at Elon University, I learned that writing an essay is very different from writing for print, online, radio or televised news. I have learned that there are various styles included in media writing, such as personal profiles, press releases, and full-feature stories. No matter what beat you're assigned, it is important to set aside time to conduct interviews, gather research and edit your drafts before publishing. Below, you'll find some examples these styles, and a few others along the way!
