and people.

Okay, good job.

Journalism helps to
explain the events that
impact our lives and it
developed in a
number of forms and
styles. Each
journalistic form and
style uses different
techniques and writes
for different purposes
and audiences. There
are five principal types
of journalism:
investigative, news,
reviews, columns and
feature writing.

Now, let us associate

journalism

INVESTIGATIVE

Investigative
journalism aims to
uncover the truth
about a particular
subject, person, or
event. While
investigative
journalism is based on
the basic principle
underlying all
journalism-verification
and accurate
presentation of facts-
investigative reports
must often work with
uncooperative or
recalcitrant sources
who do not wish to
divulge information.

NEWS

News journalism is
straightforward. Facts
are relayed without
flourishes or
interpretation. A
typical news story
often constitutes a
headline with just
enough explanation to
orient the reader.
News stories lack the
depth of feature story,
or the questioning
approach of n
investigative story.
Rather, they relay
facts, events and
information to society
in a straightforward,
accurate and
unbiased manner.

REVIEWS

Reviews are partly

opinion and partly fact
based. The review
needs to accomplish
two things: one,
accurately describe or
identify the subject
being reviewed, and
two, provide an
intelligent and
informed opinion of
the subject, based on
research and
experience.

COLUMNS

Columns are based

primarily on the
personality of the
author, allowing him or
her to write about
subject in a personal
style. Column writers
can take a humorous
approach, or
specialize in a
particular subject area
or topic. It’s important
for columnists to
develop their own
voice that is
recognizable by their
readership.
Columnists can
interpret events or
issues or write about
their own personal
experiences or
thoughts. Columns
are usually published
weekly.

FEATURE WRITING

Feature writing
provides scope, depth
and interpretation of
trends events, topics
or people. Feature
aim not only to
thoroughly explore a
topic by conducting
interviews with
numerous experts or
the key people
involved, but to offer a
 previously unseen
perspective on an
event, issue, or
person.

C. GROUP ACTIVITY

The student will be divided

into four groups and each
group will choose one
bond paper and then
analyze what types of
journalistic writing they
you choose.

D. GENERALIZATION

Okay, congratulations to
everyone because you all
did well on your activity.
Now, based on the
discussion that we had,
who can give a recap
about the levels of
biological organization?

Very good!!
