The last class which was held on Wednesday, 26 October 2009 was conducted by Mr. Atish Parashar (Lecturer of Mass Comm in IP University), in which he talked about the art of writing for Web Journalism. He emphasized on the fact that art of writing is different in all the mediums of mass communication, be it Print, Television, Radio or Web, though, the news conveyed is more or less the same. Online Journalism should combine the features of both-Print & T.V...One should write responsibly, things, which one think should be documented. Space, time, audio & video should not be disrespected while writing anything. There is an urgent need to write in simple plain English on the web which could be easily understood by the target audience. As writing is all about communicating, there should not be any case, wherein, the readers need to switch to the dictionary. Sentences should not be over-complicated. They should be clear, crispy and catchy. The whole effort of writing goes into vain, if the reader does not understands the point because of ambiguity in writing style.

'Those who write clearly have readers; those who write obscurely have commentators'-ALBERT CAMUS

Mr.Parashar also briefed us about Amateur Writing & how can it be caught. This kind of writing is always verbose (wrong use of verb) ,it uses lots of complicated words & takes around four pages to say what can be said in one page.

'The irony of simple writing is that it's hard to do'

With the arrival of Internet, democratization of content has changed into freedom because there is no check in the world of web. Still, one should write responsibly. A Journalist should be creative, imaginative, and open like an encyclopedia. Trust, judgment, mental fitness, quickness are the basic attributes needed to be a journalist. For a Journalist, identification of the source of the news is of utmost importance. One needs to understand the technical aspects too while writing. It should be always kept in mind,’ writing for whom’? Any writing must be persuasive, motivational, informative & entertaining. It should not be purposeless, vague, meaningless and ambiguous.
