Writing for Business Journalism.

23 Oct 2011, Saturday, we had a class on business journalism with Mr. Aman Dhall, a senior correspondent at Economic Times. With the help of a PowerPoint presentation he taught us how to write for Business Journalism.

He taught us How:

• To deal with numbers in a story.
• To draw linkage and use comparisons in a corporate society.
• To use Quotes in a story.
• What should be the writing structure of the story.
• Correct use of jargon.
• Context and Perspective.
• Colour and Detail.
• Use of Quotes.

He also taught us that in Business Journalism we should write about PEOPLE. Corporate stories are a lot about people, their strategies etc.



Altogether it was an interesting as well as an enlightening session.
