Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tim Harrower has been an editor, designer and columnist at newspapers large (The Oregonian), midsized (The Rochester Times-Union) and small (the Times weeklies in Beaverton, Ore.). He became a journalist in the '80s after his first career choice -- rock 'n' roll superlegend -- fizzled out.

Harrower's first book, "The Newspaper Designer's Handbook," has been a fixture in newsrooms and classrooms around the world, translated into Russian, Chinese and Polish. His follow-up, "Inside Reporting," is America's most popular journalism textbook.

He currently hosts journalism workshops, consults on redesigns, noodles around with multimedia, composes music and writes fiction at his dog-and-frog ranch deep in the Oregon woods.

Newspaper Design Handbook 5th Edition----An Effective and Well Presented Handbook on the Subject!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

Simple, clear, concise, and accurate presentation of the elements of newspaper design. Concepts are well defined. Author is a clear communicator and his writing style augments the value of the information he is presenting. There are ample visual designs presented in is book and elements of typology, template formatting, page design, font sizing, and visual organization are especially useful for beginners in newspaper design. Question and answer quizes reinforce the concepts in the material. Have no doubt, author Tim Harrower is an excellent writer and he presents key concepts with verbal and visual support. This book is especially good for beginning visual media design related to creating newspapers. It is something that both journalism and visual media teachers can use for their beginning students in highschool and junior college classroom situations. A big plus for this Newspaper Designer Handbook. Beginning issues present in this handbook can be applied to later visual media design and may prove useful in understanding beginning concepts in InDesign software by Adobe.

Seemed relatively useful.

It's kind of hard for me to rate a textbook. I got this as a cheap upgrade to the much older 4th edition. The newer version was definitely a step up. This book isn't the most recent edition though - so it's hard to say what has changed since then. I was a little annoyed that some pages/examples were carried over straight from the 4th edition.

The book did give me some nice ideas for designing a newspaper though. And so far as I can tell, it's one of the few remaining sources for such information.

Great for journalism teachers

Thank goodness I met our local newspaper editor who recommended this book for my journalism class. It offers a variety of suggestions and examples to help with layouts, headlines, photos, etc. Our latest edition looks so much better after using the suggestions. If you teach journalism you need this book.

10 stars! Content, clarity and concision. Couldn't be done any better.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I stumbled onto a YouTube video from a high school newspaper sponsor saying that this is required reading. I bought it. It far exceeds my greatest hopes. The content is complete. The information is clear. It is concise. It is precise.

Buy one of these, download a copy of Scribus and get going. Whether you are working on an existing school, college or community paper, or want to start your own niche newspaper; this book is every bit as essential as a printing press. BTW, consider [...] if you're starting something of your own. They just might be everything you need.

Thoughtfully put together. Great book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2019

This product is great! It clearly lays out the best ways to design a paper and has plenty of examples. I also enjoyed that there were pages that showed the thought process behind certain page displays. It shows how the designer first laid out the page and shows why he made certain changes along the way.

I had wanted to go to his seminar- but ended up buyig the book instead which seems to cover everything. it really has improved my newspaper writing and has me thinking of layouts and the reader BEFORE I start. I know our paper has won 30+ awards from KIPA and KPA in the last 18 months and have used the book for the whole time. So it really does help and is easy to use! Visually stunning!

EXCELLENT READ!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

With no experience whatsoever in the journalism or newspaper industry I decided to start the first Hispanic all Spanish newspaper in central Alabama. This was a life saver. Using what I learned from this one book, I was able to break-even on the third edition and show a $1,200 profit on the fourth. A national syndicated paper discovered it and thought I had been in the business for years. They were impressed with the layout. This book definitely should be on your shelf if you're interested in starting or enhancing a newspaper. I highly recommend it.

Some good tricks, but this book is outdated (and expensive).

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 23, 2013

Verified Purchase

That this book is outdated should come as no surprise to anyone, really. The newspaper industry is dying and needs some new ideas; this book just shows how it's always been done. This book is a good primer for someone new to the industry so they can see an overview for how newspapers have worked in the past and teaches a few tricks about headlines and art placement, but he still talks about paper dummies, xacto knives and film. So not cutting edge, but maybe worth a peak if you're in the industry and can find it for less than the $90 or so investment it's asking for.

excellent manual

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 7, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is an excellent design and layout manual for anyone new to producing a newspaper. No reference on to how to deal with ads that disrupt the page design, but that apart this is a really good book and worth the money.
