NEWSWRITING AN ART.
University Glasses in journalism
Find They Have Much to Learn.

University of Oregon, Eugene
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 it easy to learn the newspaper
mans trick of picking the interesting
feature" out of the mass of form
less 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 the story"
For the next day the students
write this material into news story,
trying to get the news into the
lead" and to play up their best fea-
ture." 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 Policeman Anthony
Debs, after he had wounded his wife
and two little girls. Debs was the
officer who had arrested Harry Thaw
and had been very conspicuous in
that long and notorious trial. Few
students thought his connection with
the Thaw case worth mentioning un-
til they saw that virtually all the
newspapers in the United States had
put this feature even into the head
lines, and that it was one of the
things that made this particular
story worth playing up"
The students read their produc-
tions to the class and after discussion
the instructor reads to them the
same story as handled by the various
New York reporters and passed by
the various editors. The pupils feel
that they have discovered a real prin-
ciple in the handling of news when
they compare their effort with a
unanimous verdict from the sensa-
tional World, the conservative Times,
the concise Sun and all the others.
In the advanced classes questions
of newspaper management and policy
are taken up, but in all much en-
phasis is laid on news writing and
the preparation of good clean copy
in the style editors and printers like
| to handle.
