Breaking into journalism without a degree It's good for some things, learning the laws, how to interview, etc, etc. But being a good reporter is more about being a ridiculous gossip than anything else: if you want to know what's going on, if you're capable of wheedling it out of people who know, and if you're then capable of sharing it with the world in such a way so as not to piss off the person who told you, then you'll be a good journalist. Being a good writer helps, but isn't critical. |

Breaking into journalism without a degree @sjohnston: Doh. Sorry, I actually work in the industry, so I forget that it's not in the vernacular. |

What does active voice mean? +1: Professional writing often stresses "punch" and active voice has much more than the wishy-washy passive voice. |

How to vary writing style? Reading out loud is huge. It may look fine on the page, but if it sounds stupid out loud, it needs to be changed. |
