So, if I’m not supposed to use academic writing style in journalism that means I should:
1. use the verb form instead of nominalization
2. use active verbs instead of passive voice
3. use very easy language avoiding inflation and embellishment
4. avoid long and complex sentences
What I don’t understand is why people use the academic style at all? I mean if I were some professor figuring out something really important, I would want people to understand my findings. If scholarly writing makes things ambiguous, what’s the point?
