Customer Reviews

Great book for learning journalism

This book helps to each introductory journalism. It gives great examples from newspapers and the author takes time to explain what the problems that journalist have with writing the news.

Well Done!!!

I needed this item for a college course and although it took a little longer than I expected, the customer service that I was able to contact replied to me promptly and made sure I received my shipment before too long.

Easy to understand

It's easy to understand and they give good simple examples to show the concept in the chapter. There are also exercises at the end of every chapter -- so you can practice.

A good introductory overview

Without question this is the best introductory journalism textbook on the market. I have used it in my classes for several years. The chapters are short but informative, and the exercises realistic. Primarily focussed on print, the discussion of broadcast journalism is sounder than that found in many books dedictaed to that subject.
