Talk the Talk

If you didn’t go to journalism school and somehow–magically!–found yourself with a writing career, it’s not uncommon to find yourself encountering reporting lingo that can be a bit confusing. If you have no idea why your editor is asking for a “head” or is really interested in you coming up with a “deck” (you don’t even have a back yard!), Janene Mascarella has some definitions for you over at Writers Weekly. You can find additional guides here and here.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion's Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook's Morin Oluwole, and bitly's Tim Devane. Register now.
