Response to the 10 Elements of Good Journalism - A Response to Liz Klein's Blog

Liz mentions in her blog (https://elizabethklein01.blogspot.com/) that making the important interesting seems like the most familiar element to her personally. I understand what she means, that this element in particular can be a good guideline to give yourself in your writing. I also believe that this is a goal that journalists work hard for and don't always meet. Occasionally there is an article providing an unrelenting chain of words that doesn't seem to have any relevance to you whatsoever. Journalists do their best to convey stories the public must know in a way that will intrigue the readers.

There are also articles that seem to have no purpose or relevance in your life, but you can not seem to tear your eyes away from the page. When journalists make these mistakes you are able to see that even professionals can occasionally make the mistake of neglecting to follow these expectations. It is very important for journalists to make the important stories interesting, and to spend less time on news stories of little relevance.
