  1. Buy this and this

  2. If you want to be a particular kind of journalist, read up on that area of knowledge (politics, technology, health, sports, etc)

  3. Remember that the news is just information of stuff you didn't know yesterday, but want to know about today. It is out of the ordinary and expected (dog bites man vs. man bites dog).

  4. Always try to be as fair as possible, represent all points of view, not just those of people in power or influence. Give a voice to the voiceless. Avoid using language that assumes things, like "President Obama thinks that blah blah blah." You can't really read his mind, so you should only report what he says like, "President Obama says that he believes blah blah blah..." Also, use "The event is open to the public" not "The public is invited to the event" because you don't know if the people holding the event really want everyone to come or not.

  5. Unlike other writing that you do in school, where you have a beginning, middle, and end with a summary, in journalism you really want to get your most important information in at first and work your way to less important details.

  6. Due to media convergence, there is less of a separation between "print" journalists and "broadcast" journalist. More and more the people who go to write the stories are expected to be able to photograph the occasion, shoot some short video, and post the results on the web.

  7. Journalism is a dying profession.
