JOURNALISM LECTURE 3 - TEXT

    TOPIC : TEXT
  Personally this topic was not catchy for me as the presentation was plain so until now am still struggling to understand it but am catching up.
The lecture was on Text and the formats used when publishing news and also the importance of using good text and the use of text.
In the lecture we looked at a few images of poorly written newspapers and the have informative information but the way the information is written is not catchy hence many people will opt not to purchase the newspaper because it cannot be read easily and has not attracted them. 
We also looked at the pyramid of writing information and also the different formats of writing examples are comparisons between 1. Main Print Stories
                                   2.  Web Print Stories
                                   3. Evening Print Stories
I learnt that text is also Facebook updates, Forums, tweets, emails,blogs and comments. All these types of text have a different approach of writing.
As a future journalist this lecture helped me know the kind of text to use and the approaches needed for different types of texts so as to attract my audience or customers.
