Like most papers, there are many news items and quandaries that pass through the University of Washington’s The Daily that no one outside the newsroom knows much about.
Knowing the newspaper can’t handle everything that happens at UW, I think it pertinent to let readers in on stories, both relevant and crazy, that don’t make it to press. As the opinion editor I’m in a good position for this, because I rummage through letters to the editor, where readers fervently comment on the items that got missed or ignored.
You’ll also find posts about developments that happen after events, that don’t constitute enough to write a story but are interesting enough to talk about. I’ll also offer commentary on some of the crazier happenings of the newsroom staff.
The most recent post should be on the top. Feel free to send me tips or to let me in on events on campus that aren’t getting press. You’re always welcome to hangout with us at The Daily anytime.
So, from the newsroom’s orange walls covered in profanities, I’m happy to let you in on “What passes through UW’s The Daily.”
Clever way to end this because it circles back to the start/title of the blog. That’s also a good technique to use to end feature articles — to allude to something that appeared at the start of the article. It gives an article a sense of completion. Your prose is clear and easy to grasp. I leave “About” knowing what I can expect in the blog, which is exactly what the introduction should do. Two suggestions:
–Watch for places where you can cut words without changing meaning (for example, Like most papers, many news items and quandaries pass through … ;…about developments after events; You’re always welcome to hang out with us at The Daily).
–Proper use of commas is challenging. The AP Stylebook has an excellent section on comma use. I see errors in the second and third paragraphs. +++
