Words Matter.

I hope that you are all thinking about the power of journalism and storytelling.  Now that you may be starting to "think like a journalist," I'd like you to start following the news more closely.  Sure we talk about the news in class, but how is the news told to you?  Over the next month, I'd like you all to be on the hunt for beautiful sentences.  Just as we examined in class, I want you to read the news and discover language that speaks to you.



TASK: Please make 1 post a week (through the end of the quarter) in which you document and discuss journalism at its best.  Each post should include 1 or 2 sentences from an article that are particularly profound, a link to the whole article, and a brief analysis of why the material you selected speaks to you.  It's important that each article you choose is from the week in which you are posting.



A model will be posted shortly.



Happy Reading and Enjoy!
