Hello Writers,
I am a future Journalism Student who sees the format of Blogging as the wave of the future. With this in mind however, I would have to say, there are some rules I would like you to follow. Up to this point, I see most blogs used as a means to analyze what they see on Newspaper websites. My goal is to use the format seen on Newspaper Articles and apply them to here. There are plenty of resources out there on the net as to how to do Newspaper Writing. One example that I have used to find documents on the subject is known as Scribd.com a website home to documents on many subjects. Here are somethings that I ask first.
The Links I sometimes use are in the News website links page.
1. Check your facts before posting
2. Label your postings Ex: Articles as Articles, Editorials as Editorials, Commentary as Commentary, and Columns as Columns.
3. If you have Documents on a story you are writing. Make sure that you scan them, as well as post them on this site. If you can’t be sure to quote things throughly on the subject matter you are writting on.
4. Not Every Document is going to posted online, sometimes, you have to find the sources for yourself.
5. Be sure that if the person wants to remain anonymous they can do so. I will touch on those stories later on when I can do so and I have the time to.
