Writing Fellow Kenneth Nichols will present "A Newspaper Is Not a Magazine Is Not a Website: Understanding the Media Landscape’s Different Genres and Sources and How to Use Them" at 3 p.m., Friday, April 23 as part of the college's Write Ways Series.
Every document you read on a screen looks the same as all of the others, but there are big and meaningful differences between them. This session will discuss the differences between the Washington Post and the Washington Times and why your teacher is frustrated when you cite a 50-word article that is a summary of another site's 50-word article that is a summary of a tweet.
For the Spring 2021 semester, all Write Ways Series workshops will run 3 to 4 p.m. as virtual events via this Zoom link.
All workshops are free and open to the campus community, and unfold as interactive sessions to improve writing skills -- from comma usage to crafting effective emails to planning your essay and more. No registration is required.
Contact Steven Smith (steven.smith@oswego.edu) or Stephanie Pritchard (stephanie.pritchard@oswego.edu) if you have questions.
