Good Journalistic Writing

I WAS IMPRESSED when I was a young guy with clever writers like Jimmy Breslin of New York.  The man was uncanny in bringing complex news stories to life.  What they taught in J-schools was a long way from the multi-faceted news concepts of a person like Mr. Breslin.  Another strong writer was Paul Valentine of The Atlanta Journal.  He was able to probe the meat and potatoes of a news story in such a shrewd way.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
