The difficulties I run into when writing in journalistic style, in comparison to academic style, occur mostly in my wording. I write sentences with a lot more fluff and wording in my academic writing than I should do in journalistic writing. I also put a lot more emphasis on what words I use in journalistic writing than I do in academic. I run into problems because I use words such as which and that interchangeably and according to AP style that is wrong. This has caused me to focus a lot more on the individual words as well as content not just the content of my papers.
