Hi Kevin,
You mentioned you are a former print journalist. What are you doing now??
I'm a government afairs reporter at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and I've
survived the rounds of layoffs and other economic woes of our industry thus
far.
Good to have you on the list.
Liz

Humberto,
About the time I broke into professional journalism I was reading a lot of
books and magazines on tape via the talking book program. I found the
writers at Newsweek and Sports Illustrated magazines in particular to be
very skillful at painting word pictures and weaving current American popular
culture references into their articles when appropriate. they also helped
expand my vocabulary.
So I advise you to read the best, not to mimic their style but to learn the
craft of writing.
Pardon me, got to go to spell check now!
Sincerely,
Kevin Burton
former print journalist
