The direct and practical writing approach reads as an accesible magazine article, and not as a textbook.
Offers strong coverage of a wide range of relevant topics, with a focus on news writing and reporting basics along with legal and ethical issues.
Provides a greatly expanded road map to the Web: blogs, multimedia, social networks, and user participation.
Distinctive pedagogical features and examples reinforce the book's practical approach, including the utilization of checklists, tips, annotated news excerpts, idea files, questionnaires, exercises, and "Press Room" quotes from more than 100 professional journalists.
"The Morgue," a unique end-of-book archive that features actual news articles, feature stories, and leads discussed in the text--many of which are annotated by their original author--provides a an inside look at both the process of crafting material and the reporting process.
