For our mass communications research class, we are rewriting Rob Murray’s article “‘Politics of Food,’ other hot topics at Women and Spirituality Conference” from the Mankato Free Press.
We are rewriting the article for the Web as a search engine optimization release. Writing for the Web is different than writing for print. Tips for writing for the Web include:
1. Use short, simple sentences.
2. Use active verbs.
3. Keep paragraphs short.
4. Stick to the facts and get rid of fancy words.
5. Remember Keywords.
