Words + thoughts on "good" writing & journalism
In case you haven’t already stumbled across these, here is a list (in no particular order) of what to read and watch (or what I’ve read, watched, and liked at some point):
“How to write a good story in 800 words or less” by Roy Peter Clarke (Poynter)
“Craft in the Real World,” by Matthew Salesses. (Granted, this is aimed at writers of fiction, but the same issues — in my opinion — bleed into the world of nonfiction and journalism.)
Christiane Amanpour on “How to seek truth in an era of fake news”
School of Media and Public Affairs at The George Washington University’s “A Conversation with Larry King” (If you cannot watch the entire conversation, skip to part 2 for King’s interviewing tips.)
“Notes on Craft: Writing in the Hour of Genocide,” Fargo Nissim Tbakhi (Protean)
“Guide to Investigating Caste,” Sagar Choudhary (GIJN). (A must-read for all journalists reporting from India in the absence of formalised caste sensitivity training.)
