The RPC: Great Writing

POSTED BY LauraFries.com IN Journalism & the Media @ March 31, 2005 - 10:37 am

Damn. Poynter’s RPC (That’s Roy Peter Clark) sums up a lot of Terri things quite nicely in this piece timed to run after her departure.

Not to give away his kicker, but it’s unbeatable:

I do not argue here that one reading of Terri is more authentic than the next. Only that her story is our story. And that journalists have done well by giving air and space to these multiple and conflicting renditions of a life that passed years ago from the realm of reason and science to the territories of narrative and myth.

And, Roy recently completed his fifty writing tools — essential reading for any writer. Check it!
