...News style (also journalistic style or news writing style) is the prose style used for news reporting in media such as newspapers, radio and television. News style encompasses not only vocabulary and sentence structure, but also the way in which stories present the information in terms of relative importance, tone, and intended audience. Newspaper style includes informative materials: brief news items, headlines, ads, additional articles. But not everything published in the paper can be included in N.S., for example, publicist essays, feature articles, scientific reviews are not N.S. News writing attempts to answer all the basic questions about any particular event - who, what, when, where and why (the Five Ws) and also often how - at the opening of the article. This form of structure is sometimes called the "inverted pyramid", to refer to the decreasing importance of information in subsequent paragraphs. News stories also contain at least one of the following important characteristics relative to the intended audience: proximity, prominence, timeliness, human interest, oddity, or consequence. Newspapers generally adhere to an expository writing style. Over time and place, journalism ethics and standards have varied in the degree of objectivity or sensationalism they incorporate. Definitions of professionalism differ among news agencies; their reputations, according to professional standards, and depending on what the reader wants, are often tied to the appearance...

...Minimalist contentions: Fight Club Introduction Chuck Palahniuk is one of the most influential American fiction writers who emerged in the 1990s. His debut novel, Fight Club (hereafter: FC) reached cult status after the film adaptation by David Fincher was released in 1999, and widespread and divided critical reception was soon to follow. Much of the current debate about Fight Club focuses on the political implications of the text, but most often recourse to it by way of referencing the film. These arguments usually question or celebrate the transgressive potentials of the book (Giroux; Mendieta), or address issues of masculinity brought into the fore by their literary and cinematic representations emergent in the same decade (Tuss; Friday). However, few, if any, have addressed the literary aspirations of the text and its author. Although none of the approaches to the thematic concerns of Fight Club are unjustified, in the argument that follows I will suggest that conclusions drawn and critical judgments passed have been hasty, and not only failed to take into account the formal aspects of story-telling, but that the narrative features of Palahniuk’s text have largely went unexplored, and constitute a blind spot of the reception. Critics condemning or acclaiming the novel, and, indeed, many a cultic reader of Palahniuk ignored Fight Club as a literary narrative, and have inadvertently been repeating the catchphrases of the text, either reinforcing or trying to undermine what...

...A GUIDE TO THE PREPARATION OF RESEARCH/LABORATORY REPORTS Adapted by Dr. Robin Hill, for use with students in Organisational Behaviour and Directed Research Projects. Last update January 2007. Research reports are written in a manner known as "technical prose." The goal of technical prose is effective communication. A research/lab. report is precise and to the point. It states the question to which the study is addressed, the method employed, the results obtained, and the relation of these results to other knowledge. In addition, the usual requirements of English expository prose - such as complete sentences, accurate spelling, and correct grammar - apply to every research report. The catch cry of technical prose is "clear, concise and economy of wording." The following outline, based on the recommendations of the American Psychological Association (APA), may be used as a guide to organising and preparing a research report. The APA format is chosen, because world-wide, most academic journals require APA format or a close approximation. Abstract An abstract of about 100 -175 words begins each report. Its main purpose is to let the reader decide quickly whether to read the full report. A few hundred-thousand reports are published annually. Since individuals do not have sufficient time to read all of them, they need summaries that enable a quick decision as to whether or not the article or report is relevant to the reader's field of study. An abstract of a research...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Background of the Study In our daily lives, we actually have gone through a lot of incident whether it is good or bad. However, we hardly draw the conclusion of the incident we have been through. We might fail to reach something we have been wanting so long, though the thing we desire is well-planned, yet the result is not like what we expect before. The point is that every time we are facing a problem, we should really pay attention and take the message of it. There will always be sort of a lesson in every single difficulty. Not only shall we find in our daily lives, but we could also find it while reading literary works, watching movies and suchlike. Reading literary works has interesting adventure in which an extra attention is needed to figure it out. For some people, reading novel or short story is more than just about looking for the beautiful story or the greatnesses of the story. Yet, there are some people who only read novel without a deep understanding. Usually the readers will be facing some questions which have something to do with the author’s intention making story. Common question coming out automatically after reading novel or short story is such what is the author trying to tell us in the story or what the moral lessons of the story is. According to Nurgiyantoro (1995:66) to know of what the author feels like to convey in the story is the main task of reading fiction work, it is either Novel or Short story. As a matter...

...“The New Literacy” is an article by Clive Thompson addressing people’s concerns about technology affecting the younger generations’ ability to write. The author used several different rhetorical strategies, such as statistics, credible sources and definitions in an attempt to persuade those who are skeptical about technology improving students writing. (thesis?) The first strategy that Thompson used was quoting a credible source, and in this case that source is Andrea Lunsford. “Lunsford is a professor of writing and rhetoric at Stanford University,” wrote Thompson, “Where she has organized a mammoth project called The Stanford Study of Writing to scrutinize college students’ prose.” This citation from the report shows that there is actual research going into whether or not technology does more good than harm in students writing, as well as showing that the author did his research on this topic....

...the Italian army. Serving at the front, he was wounded, was decorated by the Italian Government, and spent considerable time in hospitals. After his return to the United States, he became a reporter for Canadian and American newspapers and was soon sent back to Europe to cover such events as the Greek Revolution. During the twenties, Hemingway became a member of the group of expatriate Americans in Paris, which he described in his first important work, The Sun Also Rises (1926). Equally successful was A Farewell to Arms (1929), the study of an American ambulance officer's disillusionment in the war and his role as a deserter. Hemingway used his experiences as a reporter during the civil war in Spain as the background for his most ambitious novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Among his later works, the most outstanding is the short novel, The Old Man and the Sea (1952), the story of an old fisherman's journey, his long and lonely struggle with a fish and the sea, and his victory in defeat. Hemingway - himself a great sportsman - liked to portray soldiers, hunters, bullfighters - tough, at times primitive people whose courage and honesty are set against the brutal ways of modern society, and who in this confrontation lose hope and faith. His straightforward prose, his spare dialogue, and his predilection for understatement are particularly effective in his short stories, some of which are collected in Men Without Women (1927) and The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories (1938)...

THE THEORIES OF REGULATION THAT ARE RELEVANT TO ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING Ada beberapa teori yang relevan terhadap pemahaman lapoan keuangan. A. Teori Pasar Efisien Dalam teori pasar efisien, penganut pasar bebas menyatakan bahwa pasar akan berfungsi paling efisien ketika pasar bergerak atas mekanisme permintaan dan penawaran tanpa campur tangan dari pemerintah. Dalam akuntansi, dapat dikatakan informasi akuntansi adalah sebuah industri memproduksi informasi. Para pendukung teori ini mengatakan bahwa seperi halnya pada pasar bebas, pasar informasi akuntansi juga memiliki permintaan dan penawaranya sehingga terbetuk harga keseimbangan pasar untuk informasi akuntansi. Misalnya, ada sebuah informasi akuntansi dengan pemintaan tertentu dari pengguna dan ada pemasok yang bersedia menyediakan informasi akuntansi tersebut. Maka, ketika pemasok mendapat keuntungan dari memberikan informasi akuntansi tersebut dan pembeli merasa biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk mendapat informasi itu setimpal atau lebih murah, maka dapat terbentuk sebuah keseimbangan pasar. Jika hal tersebut tidak terpenuhi maka informasi akuntansi tidak disediakan. Namun, ada pula kelompok yang tidak mendukung teori ini karena dianggap tidak realistis. Hal ini disebabkan karena...

...THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION C. WRIGHT MILLS NEW YORK Oxford University Press 1959 Appendix On Intellectual Craftsmanship TO THE INDIVIDUAL social scientist who feels himself a part of the classic tradition, social science is the practice of a craft. A man at work on problems of substance, he is among those who are quickly made impatient and weary by elaborate discussions of method-and-theory-in-general; so much of it interrupts his proper studies. It is much better, he believes, to have one account by a working student of how he is going about his work than a dozen 'codifications of procedure' by specialists who as often as not have never done much work of consequence. Only by conversations in which experienced thinkers exchange information about their actual ways of working can a useful sense of method and theory be imparted to the beginning student. I feel it useful, therefore, to report in some detail how I go about my craft. This is necessarily a personal statement, but it is written with the hope that others, especially those beginning independent work, will make it less personal by the facts of their own experience. 1 It is best to begin, I think, by reminding you, the beginning student, that the most admirable thinkers within the scholarly community you have chosen to join do not split their work from their lives. They seem to take both too seriously to allow such dissociation, and they want to use each for the enrichment of the other. Of course, such a...

...When the Light Shines on Literature The Enlightenment Era is a period of philosophic and scholarly excitement which took place globally in the early eighteenth century. In a historical context, the American Enlightenment led to the American Revolution, American Independence, and the creation of the Constitutional Republic of the United States America (Bailyn 26-27). Influenced by those of the European Enlightenment, such as John Locke and Isaac Newton, and fueled by the colonist’s growing frustrations with the English Crown, the literary soil of the New World was a fertile garden. From this newly enriched land sprung both flowers of poetry and the nutritious fruits of the realistic pen that were deeply inspired by the American Enlightenment. The literature of the Enlightenment period was powerful indeed, as it motivated people to think and to take action. Two superlative examples of American Literature and the influences of the Enlightenment Era are Philip Freneau’s poetry and Thomas Paine’s prose. The influence of enlightenment ideas is in the works of both of these important literary figures. Philip Freneau was the poet of the American Revolution (Bowen 213). From Freneau’s naturalistic poetry, such as “The Wild Honeysuckle, we can see the Enlightenment idea that nature is a revelation of God that holds instructions for mankind. “The Wild Honeysuckle" was America's first major poetic account on the themes of life and death. The poem begins by discussing the types of death...
