Now in an updated and expanded third edition, Writing The News: A Guide For Print Journalists, Walter Fox continues to draw upon his more than forty years of experience as a professional journalist, editor, communications specialists, and journalism educator to provide aspiring journalists and news writers with an introductory primer for their trade. Among the issues covered are writing the lead; story development, handling quotes, varieties of the basic structure of writing, examples for the contemporary press, feature narratives, and an enhanced chapter on news style. Writing The News is very highly recommended for students of print and media journalism, as well as article and reportage writing for magazines and periodicals.

at first, i was told to become a journalist by my dad because he's a famous journalist in my country. In the beginning, I thought of it as a burden because it wasn't my area. Then I read this book and suddenly, page after page, a light of my hidden talent started to emerge. Then, I finally realized that this is my fate and destiny, to become a journalist. This book is really helpful in anything that is related to being a journalist. All the tips, comments and necessary information was provided in this really fabolous book. I most definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to become and even to the ones who hates of being a journalist. Who knows? Maybe it's your hidden talent!
