5.0 out of 5 stars
First-rate news and feature writing,
This review is from: News & Features, Vol. 2: More Great Writing Examples from an Award-Winning Journalist (Paperback)
Veteran journalist Michael B. Davie has produced a first-rate collection of news and feature stories, along with his own expert commentary on what went into crafting these award-winning works of journalism.
I especially enjoyed the story on a man named Malcolm who turned to lipsuction because he'd tried everything and couldn't get rid of his love handles. The lead sentence: "The problem hit Malcolm in the middle." I'd recommend this book to journalism students, practicing reporters and anyone who enjoys reading finely crafted news and feature articles.
