Title: Newspaper Writing Is Quite Different From Other Writing

Newspaper writing is quite different from other forms of writing like Academic Writing and Creative writing. Newspapers are read everyday by a large number of people from all sections of the society. Therefore the language used in any newspaper has to be factual and easy. Prospective writers for a newspaper must understand that while reading a newspaper a person would be annoyed if he or she has to frequently look up dictionary. Also the reader is keen to know the actual happening, the real story, not a news story made up by the reporter’s own imagination. However some forms of newspaper writing namely features, and sub-editorials may differ from stories in style and tone. Normally full time reporters do the difficult job of reporting. They gather the day’s important news stories normally in the evening. These stories range from political news to sports news and economic news; as well as diplomatic news or news of scientific discoveries. As such the language used in these items will not be the same. Readers too do not expect to see a similar language used in reporting a medical discovery and another reporting the country’s increasing crime situation.
