The week in review: A student's oral presentation. Reading and discussion of the article "How journalists write" (The Guardian). Journalism genres: news reports vs feature articles. News terminology: journalistic ledes/leads, nut graphs, direct and delayed leads. Comparing and contrasting two news stories ("Reclaim our streets: hoodies and baddies" and "Under that hoodie is a child like yours"): how choice of vocabulary can affect the slant of a newspaper article.
