Tweet, tweet, tweet

Taking a peek at a few of my fellow classmates tweets today, I came across three that I thought represented good newswriting.

The first is Ed D'Adamo who's lead about the Green campaign making it easier to recycle caught my interest and made me want to read on. He followed that up with specific information on how many containers would be installed and the implications on the students in his short report.


Cara Flynn: Cara's lead about the hiring freeze had an active voice using the subject-verb-object form. She used the who and what effectively in her lead, and then gave good information using a direct quote from Towson University president, Robert Caret. I could see something like this as a crawl along the bottom of CNN's screen.


And finally, Chantel James also used the who and what describing the Tigers opening game loss to Richmond. In her short report, she gave nice examples of when and how without repeating things she said in her lead.
