Human Writing vs Newsroom Style

Two writing skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

Human Writing

By ClawHub Community

Write blog posts, marketing copy, and emails that sound like a real person wrote them.

Newsroom Style

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Apply professional journalism style (AP, Chicago) to articles, press releases, and news copy.

What each one does

Human Writing

  • Writes content using simple, direct language instead of inflated corporate speak
  • Avoids AI tells like 'delve,' 'pivotal,' 'tapestry,' and synonym cycling
  • Uses contractions, lowercase headings, and natural sentence rhythms that sound human
  • Checks drafts against a reference list of common AI writing patterns
  • Focuses on concrete facts and specific details instead of vague generalizations

Newsroom Style

  • Applies AP Style rules for numbers, dates, titles, and attribution to your writing
  • Converts informal drafts or notes into clean, publishable journalism-style copy
  • Writes headlines and ledes (opening paragraphs) that follow newsroom conventions
  • Flags common errors like incorrect attribution, wrong number formatting, or passive voice
  • Reformats content to follow inverted pyramid structure with short paragraphs

When to pick each one
