journalistically challenged?

Writing "journalistically" has definitely been a challenge for me, especially in this class. I have always been the writer that likes to write creatively instead of informatively. Writing papers such as news stories containing only facts that I have take from interviews was hard for me because I wanted to add my own touch to ever sentence I wrote. I am slowly but surely learning that writing in a journalistic style takes a lot of concentration paired with the understanding that the reader doesn't care about your opinion as much as they care about the facts.
