Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
For 20 years, the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the Poynter Institute have honored the best newspaper writing in team and individual deadline reporting, nondeadline and editorial writing, commentary, and criticism. This year's collection of work by winners and finalists lands the awards in the middle of the current flap over journalistic accuracy, since "commentary" winner Patricia Smith lost her Boston Globe column after admitting she made up some of the characters she described. (The Smith pieces here seem to be grounded in fact.) In addition to solid reporting and commentary on subjects as diverse as high-school plays, the Grand Forks, North Dakota, flood, and neo-Nazis, the anthology offers solid insights into how really good newspaper writing grabs and involves readers, thanks to questions after each article and interviews with many authors by Poynter Institute staff. In addition to broadening the average reader's awareness of the best newspaper work around the country, the volume has curricular potential. Mary Carroll
