Default Modern Journalism


I admit that I am not a Pulitzer Prize winning writer
or journalist like someone else here but I remember
a course in either high school or college (can't remember
where) regarding the proper way to write an article.

I was taught that the main point or information in the
article should appear in the first paragraph or two.
After that, it could be expanded upon with related comments
or info.

Today it seems an article will have a catchy title or headline
but you need to read several paragraphs (or even pages) to get
to the point the author is attempting to make.

Drives me nuts.
