 * **Journalists identify purpose and audience when selecting article types.**
 * **Journalists capture readers' attention through topic, lead, design, headlines and art.**
 * **Journalists internalize the writing process, from pre-writing to publication.**
 * **Journalists use technology to gather and present information.**
 * **Journalists improve by setting goals and working toward them, aided by the creation of a portfolio.**
 * **Journalists produce and distribute a quality product.**
