Answer:

Write like you speak: Write in your own voice, in a conversational tone, as if you’re speaking to only one listener.

Keep sentences short. If you have a long sentence, follow it up with a short one. When you go back and read your narration aloud, do you truly sound like yourself?

Keep it simple: Allot a sentence to each idea. Be clear and concise, stick to the story and don't try too hard to be "clever." Too much detail can become irrelevant and make the story lose focus.

Avoid most multiple-syllable words, words that are tough to pronounce and long, convoluted sentences.

Provide specificity: Although the goal is to write clearly, you must also avoid being too general. Provide context for anything that may cause confusion. When describing people, don't label them. Tell exactly what they do as opposed to using their official title.

Tell stories in a logical order: Make sure that your content has a beginning, a middle and an ending. Don't bury the lead; state the news near the top, without too much buildup.

Use the present tense and active voice: You're writing for flow and to express what is going on now. Broadcast strives for immediacy. To convey this to the listener, use the active voice whenever possible. In English, try to use a subject-verb-object sentence structure. For example: "Police (subject) have arrested (verb) 21 activists (object) for staging a protest at Merlion Park on Saturday afternoon."

Write to the pictures: TV and video audiences will see why something happened. In television, the phrase “write to tape” is used to describe the way a story script is built around the visual images you have gathered. Don't write any longer than the story or pictures warrant.

Use imagery: Radio audiences need to imagine the people, places and things in your story. With your words, create powerful and straightforward imagery. Use descriptive verbs instead of adjectives. For example, if you say “he struts or saunters” you’re giving a picture without using an adjective. But don't let vivid, imagery-rich writing turn verbose. Use words sparingly.

Let the speaker speak: If you’re hosting a show or an interview, be the host. Don't overpower the subject of the story. When interviewing, don’t 'mm hmm' them and don't keep talking and talking about yourself. You’re just a conduit whose job it is to relay a story/experience/emotion from the guest to the audience.

A good sense of humor can't cure all ailments, but data is mounting about the positive things laughter can do. A good laugh has great short-term effects. When you start to laugh, it doesn't just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body. Laughter can:

1. Stimulate many organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain.

2. Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response, and it can increase and then decrease your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling.

Overall, laughter is good for your health and being positive would lead to positive results.

How can a journalist be sure to avoid conflicts of interest?
agasfer [191]
Decide who in the organization to charge with the task of drafting the formal conflict policy. Ideally, the entity in charge of formulating this policy and overseeing its application and continued maintenance should be the human resources committee of the board of directors, which usually includes one or two members of the board, the human resources director and the organization's CEO or the duly designated representative thereof.

2
List everyone in the organization to whom the policy applies. A simple blanket statement that the policy applies to "everyone in the organization" is inherently vague and leads to questions. Be specific from the start by listing each category of person the policy applies to, including board members, officers, management, employees, contractors and share holders if relevant. Include also other organizations that function as a single entity in its relationship to the organization in question, such as corporations as shareholders.

3
Consider what constitutes a conflict of interest and make a list of these situations, with definitions when relevant. Include preventing or eliminating situations, such as the following: any applicable member of the organization who owns or has a financial interest in a competing company where that individual might be influenced to make a business decision not in the best interest of the organization if he gains financially by favoring the competing interest; any applicable member of the organization using her position to influence a hiring or promotion decision in favor of a personal and/or family relationship, including nepotism; any organization member running for public office where the public position may be used to further the organization's political, financial and/or public relations interests; and close relationships between individuals of varying levels of authority within the organization where such relationship may be perceived as favoritism, thus leading to allegations of alienation. Always include a statement that the organization intends to follow the spirit of the policy as well as its letter to prevent any attempt exempt a conflict by strict construction of policy language.


4
Include at least two separate chains of reporting to ensure anonymity and freedom from repercussion to encourage employees to come forward with information concerning conflicts.

5
Set out a step-by-step procedure by which alleged conflicts are examined and designate who conducts this investigation.

6
Consider and then clearly state all potential resulting actions the organization may take in response to a disclosed conflict, or a situation found to constitute a conflict after formal investigation.

7
Maintain the policy actively by continuing to add to or alter it in response to the organization's needs. In this way the policy becomes a "living document" that grows and changes with every new situation encountered by the organization.

8
Apply the policy consistently, and charge the policy committee with continued oversight of the application process so employees, applicants and the public understand that the organization is vigilant in its efforts to identify conflicts of interest, and committed to preventing them in the first place.

Please help!!!!!!! The Cherry Orchard is A Comedy in Four Acts. Anton Chekhov famously disagreed with the plays first director,
Juliette [100K]

Anton Chekhov conceived of this play, which turned out to be his last, as a comedy,designating it “A Comedy in Four Acts” and even emphasizing to the Moscow Art Theatre that the last act should be “merry and frivolous.”  He suggested that some portions were even farcical.  Nevertheless, most interpretations and theatrical productions have emphasized its tragic aspects. It is understandable why the playwright’s intentions have been largely disregarded; the subject is a serious and depressing one including the family’s loss of their ancestral home and removal from it and other sad developments as well.  The destruction of the orchard also represents the destruction of illusions—sad, to be sure, but perhaps hopeful.

 

Thus, as the inevitable change in society with the dawning of the 20th Century comes, the play represents this time period and portrays an end of an aristocratic era with both tragic and comic elements.  The play is best characterized as a tragicomedy.

What is tone? (1 point)
Darya [45]

Answer:

O The author's attitude toward the subject.

Explanation:

In a literary text, the <u>tone is a term used to refer to the attitude of the writer</u>. This means that the attitude, the sounds, or feeling that the writer has toward a topic or subject.

There are several tones employed in literature, some of which are serious, comical, sad, happy, etc.

The figurative language where a non-human object is given human qualities is personification.

The comparison of two unlike people, places, or objects is a simile.

The place and time of a story is the setting.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
