{"product_id":"2940157793104","title":"How To Write Special Feature Articles: A Handbook for Reporters, Correspondents and Free-Lance Writers Who Desire to Contribute to Popular Magazines and Magazine Sections of Newspapers","description":"This book is the result of twelve years' experience in teaching\u003cbr\u003euniversity students to write special feature articles for newspapers and\u003cbr\u003epopular magazines. By applying the methods outlined in the following\u003cbr\u003epages, young men and women have been able to prepare articles that have\u003cbr\u003ebeen accepted by many newspaper and magazine editors. The success that\u003cbr\u003ethese students have achieved leads the author to believe that others who\u003cbr\u003edesire to write special articles may be aided by the suggestions given\u003cbr\u003ein this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough innumerable books on short-story writing have been published,\u003cbr\u003eno attempt has hitherto been made to discuss in detail the writing of\u003cbr\u003especial feature articles. In the absence of any generally accepted\u003cbr\u003emethod of approach to the subject, it has been necessary to work out a\u003cbr\u003esystematic classification of the various types of articles and of the\u003cbr\u003edifferent kinds of titles, beginnings, and similar details, as well as\u003cbr\u003eto supply names by which to identify them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA careful analysis of current practice in the writing of special feature\u003cbr\u003estories and popular magazine articles is the basis of the methods\u003cbr\u003epresented. In this analysis an effort has been made to show the\u003cbr\u003eapplication of the principles of composition to the writing of articles.\u003cbr\u003eExamples taken from representative newspapers and magazines are freely\u003cbr\u003eused to illustrate the methods discussed. To encourage students to\u003cbr\u003eanalyze typical articles, the second part of the book is devoted to a\u003cbr\u003ecollection of newspaper and magazine articles of various types, with an\u003cbr\u003eoutline for the analysis of them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParticular emphasis is placed on methods of popularizing such knowledge\u003cbr\u003eas is not available to the general reader. This has been done in the\u003cbr\u003ebelief that it is important for the average person to know of the\u003cbr\u003eprogress that is being made in every field of human endeavor, in order\u003cbr\u003ethat he may, if possible, apply the results to his own affairs. The\u003cbr\u003eproblem, therefore, is to show aspiring writers how to present\u003cbr\u003ediscoveries, inventions, new methods, and every significant advance in\u003cbr\u003eknowledge, in an accurate and attractive form.","brand":"Readings LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179007361264,"sku":"2940157793104","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157793104_p0.jpg?v=1764135021","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157793104","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
