WRITING NEWS is
NOT EASY TASK

University of Oregon Eugene, oct.
l6.-"What is the feature of the
story
That is the question the students
in the new department of journalism
have devoted the first few weeks of
the term to learning to answer. They
have discovered that the good News
story which reads So smoothly and
looks so simple is not easy to write,
nor is il easy 10 learn the newspaper
mans trick of picking the interesting
feature out of the mass of formless
material which is all he has to start
with.
Mr.. Allen. the instructor, has en-
tered his pupils in fast company from
the beginning, letting them work in
competition with the star reporters
On the New York newspapers. He
clips from the Times. Herald, World,
Tribune, sun, Post and Journal some
story all have covered" Then he
tells the class a long. rambling tale
including all the facts. but beginning
at the wrong end, and slipping in the
important details without emphasis,
just as they usually come to the re-
porter actually covering STORY"
For the next day the students write
Ghis material into news story. trying
10 get the news into the lead" and
to "play up their best feature" Few
succeed in picking the feature" at
first, but they are now beginning to
get the idea. one of the first stories
used this way was the suicide of Po-
liceman Anthony Debs, after he had
wounded his wife and two little girls.
Debs was the officer who had arrest
ed Harry Thaw and had been very
conspicuous in that long and notori-
Gus trial. Few students thought his
connection with the Thaw case was
worth mentioning until they saw that
virtually ali the newspapers in the
United States had put this feature ev-
en- into the headlines, and that it as
one OF the things that made this par
ticular story worth playing up
The students read their productions
to the class and after some discussion
the instructor reads to them the same
story as handled by the various New
York reporters and passed" by their
various editors. The pupils feel that
they have discovered a real principle
in the handling of news when they
compare their effort with a unani-
nous verdict from the sensational
World. the conservative Times, the
concise Sun and all the others.
In the advanced classes questions
of newspaper management and pol
icy are taken up. but in all much en-
phas's is laid on news writing and the
preparation Of good clean copy in the
style editors and printers like to ham
die.
