News writing for dummies.
Author James Thurber took a job with a newspaper as a young man and was put on the crime beat. He wrote a story about a shooting that took place in the area. His editor threw it back at him and said, "Make the lead paragraph shorter."
So Thurber rewrote the story and handed it into the editor. It was rejected. "Shorter!", complained the editor. Three more times he handed it in and each time received the same rebuke.
His last attempt looked like this:
"Dead.
That's what the man was who was gunned down today at Third and Main St...."
Wonder what kind of a degree he got at Langston...
The 3 A.M. scourge raises its ugly head once again...
Nothing good happens after midnight.
“Official” cause of death: COVID
I did not get that headline either.
