Document Summary

You are a vacuum cleaner when you"re interviewing someone, get the entire picture. Lead and kicker are interchangeable sometimes don"t be afraid to switch out if it works. Passive vs. active voice: passive voice is a dead form in writing, don"t say a vase shattered, say jill threw a chess piece at the vase. , avoid passive voice, it de-energizes. Tom junod: english major, didn"t study journalism seriously, just took 1 course. Late bloomer- started his real writing career at 29. What can you do that no one else can: when writing journalism- if you"re not having fun, you"re not doing it right , you don"t know anything- so you can always find out stuff.
