Peer review of EX4

I am reviewing Leslie's exercise 4.

Leslie has solid material to add to the New Media Journalism website. Since she is the sports editor, it is her job to devise a list of set guidelines for sports writers on the Setonian staff to follow. In addition to the guidlines she made, she also researched some of sports writings dirty terminology- terms writer's should not use when covering sporting events or sports news articles. As an editor, I felt this was very useful because most people love to be creative in their writing, but this is frowned upon in any type of newswriting.

In addition to her guidelines, Leslie also posted several useful links that she would like to appear on the New Media Journalism site. My favorite resource was her link to different kinds of leads that are acceptable in news writing. This again touches on creativity, only in a positive manner. Many writers stick to one kind of lead when really they should be mixing up the types of leads they use to add interest and avoid sounding too dry.
