Answer 2

First off, read A LOT. Not the web; read BOOKS. The web, even the academic sites, have notoriously crappy English. Read magazines, even, though you might want to stick with literary ones if you're trying to improve your English.

Also, there are good books in your library about Journalism, and books by journalists, like Hunter S. Thompson, H.L. Menken, David Barry--just READ. Use the LIBRARY.

Answer 3

I would read The Wall Street Journal. It has the best writing of any national newspaper. It is clean, concise, and relatively objective. The subject matter is often unique and captivating (prairie dog vacuums, etc).
