Do not tell reader what to do Please come support our athletes... When quoting a source, all punctuation should be inside the quotation marks. Ex: I like apples, Turner said. 32
33 HOW TO WRITE A NEWS STORY Assignment Background Research Interviews Write Lead Story Headline Proof 33
34 TIPS FOR HEADLINE WRITING Headline should reflect info in the lead Summarize and grab reader s attention Don t promise what you can t deliver Don t editorialize or sensationalize Use verbs with punch Active Present Tense 34
35 PHOTOJOURNALISM + CUTLINES Photo captions and cutlines are the most read body type in a publication. It follows that standards of accuracy, clarity, completeness and good writing are as high for captions and cutlines than for other type. Questions that need to be answered in the cutline: Who is that? (And, in most cases, identify people from left to right unless the action in the photograph demands otherwise.) Why is this picture in the paper? What's going on? When and where was this? Why does he/she/it/they look that way? How did this occur? 35
36 INTERVIEWING ACTIVITY Activity 1: Writing Interview Questions/Conducting the Interview Students will write 10 interview questions to ask the instructor. These questions will require more than just a yes/no answer. The students and the teacher will hold a mock press conference, and the students will practice asking the questions and taking notes. Notes will be divided into two separate sections: quotations and paraphrased statements. After the interview students will divide their notes from the most important details to the least important. 36
37 WRITING ACTIVITY Activity 2: Writing the Lead On the overhead the instructor will lecture on leads using several examples of leads. The students will then write a lead based on their interviews. Handling Quotes Students will select the most important quotes from the interview and will write the quote on the chalkboard. Then the instructor will explain how to use attribution and how to set up the quote. 37
38 LESSON 4: AP STYLE
39 AP STYLE Associated Press Style provides guidelines for news writing. Many newspapers, magazines and public relations offices across the United States use AP Style. Purpose: the content of newspapers and other mass media is typically the result of many different writers and editors working together. AP style provides consistent guidelines for such publications in terms of punctuation, spelling and language uses. Consistency Clarity Accuracy Brevity 39
40 AP STYLE TIPS Addresses For numbered addresses, always use figures. Ex: 101 N. Grant St. Abbreviate Ave., Blvd., and St. and direction cues when used with a numbered address. Ex: 102 S. 10 th St. Always spell out other words such as alley, drive and road. If the street name or directional cue is used without a numbered address, it should be capitalized and spelled out Ex: Northwestern Avenue If the street name is a number, spell out first through Ninth and use figures for 10 th and higher. Ex: Ninth Street 40
41 AP STYLE TIPS: Ages For ages, always use figures. Examples: A 21-year-old student. The student is 21 years old. The girl, 8, has a brother, 11. The contest is for 18-year-olds. He is in his 20s. 41
42 AP STYLE TIPS Books, periodicals, reference works, etc. Use quotation marks around the titles of books, songs, television shows, computer games, poems, lectures, speeches and works of art. Examples: Author Porter Shreve read from his new book, When the White House Was Ours. They sang The Star-Spangled Banner before the game. Do not use quotations around the names of magazines, newspapers, the Bible or books that are catalogues of reference materials. Do not underline or italicize any of the above. 42
43 AP STYLE TIPS Dates, months, years, days of the week For dates and years, use figures. Spell out the month unless used with a date. When used with a date, abbreviate only the following months: Jan., Feb., Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov. and Dec. Examples: Classes begin Aug. 25. Purdue University was founded May 6, The semester begins in January. The 1800s. The 90s. 43
44 AP STYLE TIPS Numerals Never begin a sentence with a figure, except for sentences that begin with a year. For ordinal numbers, spell out first through ninth, and use figures for 10 th and above when describing order in time or location. Examples: second base, 10 th in a row When referring to money, use numerals. Examples: $26.52, $100,200, $8 million, 6 cents. 44
45 AP STYLE TIPS States When the name of a state appears in the body of a text, spell it out. When the name of a city and state are used together, the name of the states should be abbreviated (except for: Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Ohio, Texas and Utah). State abbreviations in AP style differ from the two-letter ZIP code abbreviations. 45
46 AP STYLE TIPS Times The exact time when an event has occurred or will occur is unnecessary for most stories. In cases where the time is important, use figures, but spell out noon and midnight. Examples: Right: 1 p.m., 3:30 a.m. Wrong: 1:00 p.m., 1PM, 12 a.m., 4:25 pm 46
47 AP STYLE TIPS Titles Generally capitalize formal titles when the appear before a person s name, but lowercase titles if they are informal, appear without a person s name, follow a person s name or are set off before a name by commas. Examples: President Obama; President-elect Roosevelt; Sen. Harry Reid; Evan Bayh, a senator from Indiana; the senior senator from Indiana, Dick Lugar; former President George H.W. Bush; Paul Schneider, deputy secretary of homeland security. 47
48 AP STYLE TIPS Technological terms Download ebay Inc. e-book cellphone Facebook Google, Googling, Googled hashtag Internet ipad, iphone Instagram LinkedIn social media smartphone Twitter, tweet, tweeted, retweet webmaster YouTube 48
49 AP STYLE ACTIVITY Using an up-to-date AP Style book and the information you learned above, answer the following questions. If the sentence is correct, place a C in the blank. If you find errors, use the copyediting symbols to correct it. 49
50 AP STYLE ACTIVITY: NUMBERS students received National Honor Society invitations. 2. Election day is the second Tuesday in November. 3. When she was eight, the family moved to Chicago. 4. The required reading was more than 35 pages. 5. The American placed 1st in the race. 50
51 AP STYLE ACTIVITY: ABBREVIATIONS 1. Gov. Rick Perry is in it for himself, candidate Bill White said. 2. Quill and Scroll has an office in Iowa City, IA. 3. The last day to buy a yearbook for 65 dollars is Oct The couple vacationed in Honolulu, Haw. 5. Dr. Chris Lawrence relocated his offices to Craig Ranch. 51

At the assembly, former President of the student body, Jesse James, handed over the microphone to his successor, Shawna Stevenson. 5. On Monday, Principal Robert Richards read the letter from the president, Barack Obama, to the students. 52
53 LESSON 5: JOURNALISM ETHICS
54 JOURNALISM ETHICS Five Core Principles of Journalism Truth and Accuracy Journalists cannot always guarantee truth, but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. Independence Journalists must be independent voices; we should not act, formally or informally, on behalf of special interests whether political, corporate or cultural. Fairness and Impartiality Humanity Most stories have at least two sides. While cynical there is no obligation to present every side in every piece, stories should be balanced and add context. Journalists should do no harm. What we publish or broadcast may be hurtful, but we should be aware of the impact of our words and images on the lives of others. Accountability A sure sign of professionalism and responsible journalism is the ability to hold ourselves accountable. When we commit errors we must correct them and our expressions of regret must be sincere not 54
55 JOURNALISM ETHICS ACTIVITY You are the editor of your school s newspaper. In each of the following scenarios, you are asked to consider a situation. Make a decision about who you will cover, what your angle will be and what you will publish. Will yours be an ethical decision? Include in your answer whether accuracy, fairness or clarity is in question. 55
56 SCENARIO 1 A student at your school is highlighted on the local TV news. A reporter for the school newspaper uses information from the TV newscast without giving credit to the station. It turns out that several facts from the news report are wrong. Do you admit the mistake? Do you tell how you got the incorrect information? 56
57 SCENARIO 2 A well-known musician is filming an anti-smoking PSA (public service announcement) at your school. The school newspaper photographer gets pictures of him smoking a cigarette during a break. Your photo editor wants to run the photograph with the cutline Rock Star Filmed AntiSmoking PSA on Tuesday. Do you reword the caption? 57
58 SCENARIO 3 The owner of a local business has refused to buy an advertisement in your newspaper. He graduated from your school, so you are really ticked that he won t support his alma mater. Later that day, as you look at the sports spread, you notice that the photo of the cross country track event that the sports editor plans to use has a billboard in the background with the local business s name prominently displayed. It would be easy to remove the billboard with photo-editing software. Do you alter the photograph? 58
59 SCENARIO 4 The daughter of the principal at your rival high school has been arrested on drunken driving charges. Do you report it? 59
60 SCENARIO 5 One of your best friends says she saw the new basketball coach using illicit drugs at a rock concert. You tell the newspaper adviser that someone told you about seeing him and that you plan to report it in your concert review. The coach tells you he wasn t even at the concert. Do you report the allegation? 60
