Journalist,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: News reporting and writing (Paperback)
I am excited to get into this book. It contains a lot of material about article, paragraph, and sentence structure. It also explains how to extract the most interesting part of the story to entice readers. I found many chapters in this book that will help me construct articles in a logical fashion.
I was impressed with the speed of delivery. I received the book just a few days after I ordered it.
