Know what it is you're trying to say," said Jim Ausenbaugh, an associate professor of journalism at Western. According to Ausenbaugh, newswriting and interviewing take a lot of planning and S( [ N[ clear Utinking. " In newswriting, the first part is your in­ fonnation," Ausenbaugh said. He read several examples of faulty reporting, in­ cluding some newspaper stories. Calling himself an "evangelist of the written word," Ausenbaugh went on to say that " clutter is a disease of writing. Take out all those extra words. Think about it." He also talked about accuracy and " how to hide the dull stuff." Ausenbaugh explained what to look for in an interview and how to prepare ques­ tions ahead of time through research. "He made some good points and kept my attention," said Jim Pence from Grayson County. • •• Graphic design is extremely important because it affects our daily lives," Steve Sebree, art director for The Courier­ Journal Magazine told workshop students Wednesday.

To Dr. Marlan Nelson, a member of my thesis committee and director of the School of Journalism and Broadcasting at Oklahoma State University, I extend my thanks for all his support in my career change. I thank Dr. Harry Heath, another committee member, for passing on the suggestion that led to this study. The Organization of News Ombudsmen, which gave its financial support, deserves a large amount of gratitude. Bob Kierstead, the ombudsman for The Boston Globe, was especially helpful. The editors who participated in this study made the project feasible.
