A couple of links from the ever-more-essential Canadian Journalism Project: two guides aimed at broadcasters, but helpful to journalists of all sorts.
One is Lynda Kraxberger’s list of 10 tops for writing for broadcast. It’s nice and concise and there’s lots there that applies to print news-writing, too.
The other, which I may have pointed to before, is a 21-page PDF, Sound in the Story (link goes to the PDF) prepared by Poynter in 2003. It still holds up.
(Note to any of my students who read this blog: you might as well download the PDF now, rather than wait until it gets assigned when classes begin again in January.)
