Review
Computer-assisted reporting [CAR] and analysis is so new and changing so fast that it's a moving target. However, Bruce Garrison has managed to hit the bulls-eye with his new book. Garrison not only tells us who is doing what with computer analyses in the news business, he also says what they're doing and what equipment and software they're using to do it. This is an excellent primer for those just getting started in setting up a CAR operation in their newsrooms. For veteran CAR specialists, it's an excellent guide to measure how their newsrooms stand against others that are moving forward in this essential area of journalism.
