I started using this text in my beginning reporting and writing classes a year ago. It was a strange experience: My students actually loved a textbook! I think that because this text does a good job of getting over the touchy-feely parts of treating the writing and editing processes as coaching processes, and shows how it's actually done. My students were able to convert her perspectives into some good work during our one-semester course. I'll be using this book again for some time to come.

As a student using this textbook, I have found that Rich is clear and direct in her instructions and gives examples that are easy to understand and follow. This is a must-have for any novice in journalism or a student learning to write for print journalism.

This book is a required text for a journalism class I'm taking at a junior college. It is extremely well written, and the best part is, it's written in simple terms. As a beginner, I'm finding the information extremely helpful. I haven't looked at the CD yet.

Helps understand the fundamentals of writing and reporting in a real live situation. An extreme help for beginner journalists or writers.

I was assigned this book in one of my journalism classes in college, and it was fantastic! In fact, I still use it periodically when I'm working on non-journalism related writing projects. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!

This book is great because you get an understanding in how to write reports related to different subject matters and it provides easy understanding of writing styles, formats, correct report writing. It can also be used when you have to do a report. Excellent for first timers and being the book was used, it was in good condition.

Im using this group with my highschool journalism class and it has been quite helpful while teaching the concepts in a very easy way.

Good information.. more than you can learn in a single class. Best to read ahead. I learned a lot from this book.

I ordered this book for my daughter who is in college and had it shipped to her. New and/or used, this book at the store in her college was $50.00+. She said the book arrived timely and in great condition and I paid 1/3 of the used price. Awesome Buy!

This product is great if you were looking for the STUDENT HANDBOOK for the Contemporary News + Media, and not the actual book like I thought it might be.
