Reflection Time - Lecture Two

So how do you write a story? Apparently when it comes to news, you just put the most important first so your editor can cut from the bottom, simple enough. When it comes to features writing however, there's a whole lot more scope, more room to have fun when you're writing. Lecture Two was all about how to write in different styles with tips and suggestions from Courier Mail Journalist Rod Chester.

The lecture was interesting, I mean how often do you get a lecture that swears more than you do? At the same time however if was helpful, and also helped to show what it's like to a be a journalist. The challenge involved, the changes in the industry as well as exactly what being a journalist involved. Who knows, one day it might be me talking to a JOUR1111 lecture.
