Excerpt from Newspaper Writing and Editing Newspaper English has so long been regarded by many teachers of English as a term of reproach, and instruction in journalistic writing has been so recently introduced into the college curriculum, that some Eng lish instructors still question the value of systematic training of students in newspaper writing as a part of the teaching of English composition. Nevertheless, every teacher of English in the secondary schools and colleges recognizes the fact that one of the most seri ous weaknesses of present-day training in composition is the lack of a definite aim for the student in his writ ing, and a corresponding lack of interest on his part in doing work that has no real purpose. To report actual events for publication, either in a local newspaper or in a school paper, gives the student both material and pur pose, and to that extent increases his interest and his desire to write well. If the application of the principles of English composition to newspaper writing and edit ing can be demonstrated to the student, as the author has attempted to do in this book, the student can un doubtedly be given valuable practice in these principles through systematic training in newspaper work.
