It has taken a couple of weeks worth of newswriting classes to get into the swing of writing in the style of the two posts below. It would be easy to assume that something is easy to do because it's only 80 - 100 words or so, but nope! Being concise and also interesting is actually one of the most difficult things. Give me a comment piece any day! Though I quite enjoy writing them because they're a bit of a challenge - how much can you fit in, how immediate can you make it sound for the reader, etc. More to follow shortly!
