“The 18 Essential Rules of Journalism” by Alex J. Coyne

The 18 Essential Rules Of Journalism

by Alex J. Coyne

The Essential Rules of Journalism serves as your no-BS cheat-sheet to the rules of the playing field. They are, at least in my humble opinion, what makes a good journalist– and good journalism. Writing them down was partially inspired by Captain Beefheart’s Commandments of Guitar Playing (of whom I have always been a rabid fan), my various courses offered to journalists and lastly, my own mistakes.

You have my permission to print these out and keep them nearby (or, in true commandment style, keep them on your tablet).

#1: Ask questions.

One of a journalist’s greatest assets is their natural curiosity. Start with the famed five W’s (and one H), then ask some more. Asking “why?” is what gets you the good stuff.

#2: Dig for the story.

If you think you’ve got the whole story, dig around some more. The most fascinating parts of the story are often just under the surface.

#3: Master the language.

As a journalist, language is your main tool. Read as much as you can and as often as you can, research odd words and archaic sayings, look at what’s behind etymology. Learn the patterns behind language and how to use them.

#4: Spelling matters.

Double-check if you aren’t sure about spelling or style (especially in the case of names), and read through messages and articles thoroughly before sending either.

#5: Know thy publication.

Before you pitch, know a publication’s style, editorial staff and content. Publications are usually more than happy to provide back-issues. If you can’t find writer’s guidelines, send a short introductory email requesting them”. (…)

“Carpe diem” (Welton Academy and Cornell College)

[El Club De Los Poetas Muertos. Dir: Peter Weir, 1989]

Esta historia maravillosa llevada al cine se basa en la novela de la periodista Nancy H. Kleinbaum. Después de haber visto la película quise saber más y leí la novela “El Club De Los Poetas Muertos“. En mi opinión, el papel de Robin Williams como profesor John Keating fue extraordinariamente bueno.

Hay lugares en los Estados Unidos que bien podrían ser la escuela “Welton Academy“. Me refiero a Cornell College (Iowa, EE UU).

How to quote a tweet academically

Some weeks ago I wondered how to quote a tweet academically because the modern world of today confers relevance to the minimum digital unit of communication– that is, the tweet-. Tweets behave somehow as verses, maxims or proverbs

“Las personas que leen 200 libros al año” (…) por E. Zamorano

Las personas que leen 200 libros al año: así lo hacen

E. Zamorano

(El Confidencial, 12.09.2018)

“Admitámoslo. Cada vez es más difícil concentrarse en la lectura de un libro más o menos largo. Sea una novela, un ensayo o poesía, los ritmos de vida que llevamos y la denominada como “cultura del picoteo”, nos están haciendo imposible meternos de lleno en las páginas para disfrutar con una buena historia. Los propósitos del año nuevo están cargados de la trillada frase de “este año sí que sí, tengo que leer más”. Como si fuera una autoimposición, leer en los tiempos del ‘click’ y del ‘scroll’ resulta francamente difícil.

¿Qué beneficios se esconden detrás de toda buena lectura? El escritor Orhan Pamuk lo tenía claro: “Un día leí un libro y mi vida entera cambió”. Desde aumentar tu vocabulario, entrenar el cerebro o dormir mejor, a entender un poco más lo que significa la propia existencia. Sí, aunque pequemos de románticos existencialistas, un libro puede ayudarte a encontrar el fundamento de tu vida en una existencia hasta ahora sin fundamentos. No es algo nuevo y ha pasado a cientos de personas eminentes. El hombre de éxito y multimillonario Warren Buffett está cansado de explicar que la clave de su inteligencia, tanto emocional como práctica, parte de haber leído muchísimo. Según un artículo publicado en ‘The Week’, Buffett puede permanecer hasta el 80% de su día inmerso en un libro.” (…)
