Customer Reviews

Get it, it's worth it

This is a great book for anyone interested in becoming a better news writer. It's easy to read, easy to understand, and even funny at times. You learn all the basics and the rules not to break when writing news stories. I work at a news/talk radio station in upstate NY. I'm not on the air yet but I write news stories for the anchors every day. The news director was shocked and suprised at the quality of my writing since I had no previous experience in radio news. Writing news can be hard but it's simple if you follow the rules taught in this book.
