◆ What is Journalism?



Journalism is a form of writing that tells people about things that really happened, but that they might not have known about already.
People who write journalism are called "journalists." They might work at newspapers, magazines, websites or for TV or radio stations.
The most important characteristic shared by good journalists is curiosity. Good journalists love to read and want to find out as much as they can about the world around them.

● 2 Types of Journalism :

1} Feature Writing
2} Lead Writing


1} Feature Writing:-



Writing a feature story is not always easy. It comes with a lot of elements that should come together to make it whole. Also, the style of writing a feature may vary depending on the writer or the subject. However, at the very heart of it, the purpose is the same – it aims to explore a range of issues, opinions, experiences, and ideas while captivating the audience.

1. brainstorming
2. finding the angle

Here, I am going to discuss about four questions. Which is asked by our sir in class here, I'm attaching the blog link of task. 1.The Play director by Matthew Dunster for globe theater ends with this scene...What does it signify?
