Writing Journalistically

I have found that writing for journalism is actually more different than writing for english or history papers.

It takes more "style." I would like to think that I write with style, but having been taught to write an a formal essay form all of my life, writing journalistically is very tough.

I think what needs to happen is simply just repetition and learning how to write properly. In journalism, we like short sentences, simple words and quick points on information. Essays want drawn out points and they need to be represented with more words.

But I can make the change.
