Writing gives people, the opportunity to express themselves
regardless of whether they are writing journalism, fiction or
other type of genre. Writing, in its essence, is a soul soother.
As the pen hits the page or fingers tap on a keyboard, the
writing is the beginning of personal expression. People write
for a variety of reasons, but mainly writing serves to
provoke change.
Informative
Writing
- educates a reader on a topic. They can have one of
several functions: to define a term, compare and
contrast something, analyze data, or provide a how-
to. They do not, however, present an opinion or try
to persuade your reader.
5
Journalistic
-is Writing
a style of writing that is used to report news
stories in a variety of media formats. It is to inform
the public by reporting on local, national and global
news and events.
The purpose of journalism is thus to provide citizens with the information they need
to make the best possible decisions about their lives, their communities, their societies, and
their governments.
6
Every news outlet has a different protocol for
selecting which stories to run, but some
traditional values often determine the
“newsworthiness” of a story. The more of these
news values a story satisfies, the more likely
you are to see it prominently featured in mass
media outlets.
Literary
Writing
- is defined as creating new creative
work, such as poems or novels, and
compilations or volumes of creative
work. The term 'literary writing'
calls to mind works by writers such
as Shakespeare, Milton, or
Wordsworth; definitive
examples of all that the term
implies.
7
to create an emotional appeal among readers
to create experiences that are shared to the readers
to capture the readers’ attention
The literary purpose is used to entertain and to give aesthetic pleasure. The focus of the
literary purpose is on the words themselves and on a conscious and deliberate arrangement of
the words to produce a pleasing or enriching effect. A writer often expresses a worldview
when using the literary purpose.
to express
to entertain
to communicate
