A One-Step Guide to a Byline

This guide is your one-step, crash course to a byline and includes photo galleries, an interactive quiz and eight how-to videos from successful writers including best-selling author Cecil Murphey and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Manny Garcia. In addition, the guide includes “The Theology of Journalism” by Arne H. Fjeldstad along with examples of good writing and ideas on getting a byline. This free guide begins with a crucial concept: Conflict. Conflict is not something that we seek in our personal lives, but it is essential in writing for the popular press. Understanding conflict will help a writer know the main point that will make his or her article relevant and readable. Underwritten by a grant from Campbell University, this guide is designed for new writers and journalists working in ministry.
