I was also going to suggest working with an online newspaper. http://www.schoolnewspapersonline.com/ is great, inexpensive, and easy to use.
One of my journalism professors in college would start every class period by going through local news papers and criticizing them on style mistakes. It was always fun and engaging. If you're not familiar with AP style format I suggest you purchase our bible, the AP Stylebook, and familiarize your students with it as well.
I can't agree more with Zephora. Engage with students about the importance of unbiased reporting and journalism integrity. Have fun, I'm so jealous of you.
Hooo boy. I learned to write by reading and writing a huge amount and then being trained by the Army at the Defense Information School. And the standards we learned are probably not the best standards for general use. The best advice I ever got was to edit and edit and edit and then delete most of what I wrote and edit that. What I write here is edited numerous times, both before and after I hit enter the first time, and even then it isn't nearly good enough to publish because I write in an extremely relaxed manner here, using a very different voice than I use professionally. As we keep going back to: context affects what you say and how you say it.
>“I write one page of masterpiece to ninety-one pages of shit,” Hemingway confided to F. Scott Fitzgerald in 1934. “I try to put the shit in the wastebasket.”
The book I use to guide my writing is the AP style guide. https://www.amazon.com/Associated-Press-Stylebook-2017-Briefing/dp/0465093043/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503189006&sr=8-1&keywords=Ap+style+guide
It has changed drastically since I first learned how to write, and so my writing is a mix of outdated style and prose, and a bit of modern style.
Today, when I am looking rules up I either use the Style Guide, or I go here: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/572/01/
You should read the article in more depth. The lede is a little more spicy than the body. The court is by no means the least political branch. It's becoming more and more politicized every year. It's why Republicans slowed down the confirmation process for hundreds of Obama nominees including a Supreme Court seat. It is an eminently political institution.
> Precedent will mean nothing.
I don't know if you noticed the Janus decision where they overturned decades of precedent for arbitrary reasons.
Also Bush v Gore. Come on.
Read this book for more insight.
Every journalist worthy of the name knows that the abbreviation for "Maine" is "Maine". That is, like a handful of other short-named states, you never abbreviate it.
Such journalists also know that the two-letter postal codes used by the United States Postal Service aren't abbreviations, and they're never used in print apart from their intended purpose in an address.
Most print journalists are required by their employer to follow AP style. It's not the only one, but it's the most widely used. I don't know which stylebook television stations follow. I wouldn't be surprised if Fox followed no style at all.
Trivia: there were at least 60 two-letter postal codes last time I looked, but that's been a while.
This, because it helped me all through college.
this is cheaper
Well i've also read a ton of books by people that think O.J. is innocent(and i've read all the ones that think he's guilty) like these(all of which i'd highly recommend):
https://www.amazon.com/J-Guilty-But-Not-Murder/dp/0970205805
https://www.amazon.com/J-Innocent-Can-Prove/dp/1616086203

Honestly the O.J. trial is where white rage towards minorities really became obvious as even liberals failed badly with how they covered the trial.
There's a few other good books about the case but they are VERY pricey:
https://www.amazon.com/If-Oj-Didnt-Shocking-Answers/dp/0964964910/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=If+O.J.+Didn%27t...%3A+The+Shocking+Answers+the+Trial+Did+Not+Give+You&qid=1565220016&s=books&sr=1-1-fkmr0
https://www.amazon.com/Blood-Oath-Conspiracy-Murder-Simpson/dp/1568250584/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=blood+oath+oj&qid=1565220057&s=books&sr=1-1
Might depend on who you're submitting it to. When I was editing at the business mag, we were a small operation hard up for good content, so I loved getting stuff from people out of the blue. But a busy daily paper is going to be pretty picky. If you're going to submit to someone who has no idea who you are, without any experience or clips, you're going to have to submit a really concise, well written proposal, more than a basic outline. Why is your subject newsworthy? A fully written story wouldn't hurt your chances. Even in my role, people had a really small window to sell themselves. Worst case scenario: You submit, they don't like it, you wasted a few hours of your time.
Side note: If you're working without any experience, you're going to need to get to know this.
Charged with means the prosecutors formally begin a trial. OJ Simpson was charged with the murder of Nichole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
He was not convicted, meaning the jury voted unanimously that the prosecution could not prove its case (or charges) beyond a reasonable doubt. Some of jurors have provided details in books (some points from the book in this review) about their reasoning for coming to the decisions they did. They appeared to have substantial concnerns about the evidence collection and handling practices of the police (which were a major portion of the prosecution's case).
