Default All about Journalism

salam to all member
i am starting the preparation of journalism
the topics which i covered i ll post it here
and i ll really appreciate u all if u guys do the same

that will help all members

  • Editorials that Explain
  • Editorials that evaluate
  • Editorials that persuade
  • Editorials that call for action
  • Editorials that provoke discussion

Editorials that Explain
  1. Are like expository essays
  2. Attempt to interpret or inform rather than argue a point of view
  3. The expression of opinion comes in the interpretation of facts
  4. Often used on slow days when there isn’t much to say
  5. Most effective when they explain what has taken place and why it is important



Editorials That Evaluate
  • Examines the pros and cons or positives and negatives of some issue, action or situation
    Should indicate to reader that you have researched all sides of the issue before coming to a conclusion
    Focus on actions or situations that the editorial board see as wrong or in need of improvement – or that are praiseworthy
    Criticism should be constructive
    Offer an alternative solution or course of action






Editorials That Persuade
  • Attempt to offer specific solutions to a problem
    Seeks to get someone to do something
    Can provide leadership in bringing about changes
    Offers opportunity to suggest compromise





Editorials that Provoke Discussion
  • Encourages the community to have a conversation with itself about an issue or problem
    Should lay out the issue and suggest points for readers to think about
    Usually doesn’t have an opinion or ask people to do anything other than think
    May be the first step before writing an editorial that asks people to do something





Editorials That Call for Action
  • Expect immediate action rather than an understanding of the situation
  • Should tell the reader the reasons they should do – or not do -- something
  • Should explain the impact those actions will have
  • Should tell why you believe this is important

How is the editorial page different?
The editorial page of the paper should begin where the rest of the paper leaves off.”

News stories
News stories seek to provide both sides of a story
News stories should be devoid of opinion
News stories seek to be objective
News stories present facts about events that have taken place



Editorial
Editorial writing is subjective
Editorials seek to present informed opinions
Seeks to single out issues for public discussion and examination
Seeks to influence public opinion

Sayira frankly speaking I wasn't well prepared for Journalism but by grace of Allah paper was so general and critical that I attempted it easily.I took help from 3 books;
1)By Abid Tehami
2)By Dr.Mehdi
3)By dr.Saleem(Book for B.A)

First of all see Most repeated questions;
http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-optio...ournalism.html

Choose a topic,read it from all available books and make your own notes along with points so near exams you may find no difficulty in revising them.
