Breaking news! This is like having J-school in a book.

In recent years, news reporting has dramatically changed. While the basic ?who, what, when, where, and why? of journalism is still relevant, aspiring journalists are now asking ?How?? The 21st century of blogs, instant internet access, and 24-hour news shows with minute-by-minute updates has made reporting a whole new?and very competitive?business. Here, a newspaper veteran answers every question about the new world of journalism, and explores every possibility for success.
?Covers TV, radio, magazine, newspaper, e-zine, podcast, and internet reporting
?Includes a resource list of media outlets, schools, and university programs
?Explores different angles for approaching hard news, entertainment, weather, or sports

A Great Book for Everyone

March 16, 2012

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I used this book for a Journalism class in my senior year of high school and truly enjoyed it. The writing was light, fun, and easy to understand. I found the emphasis on ethics in all forms of journalism to be excellent and I also enjoyed the advice it gave about how to begin a career in journalism. I have never planned on becoming any kind of journalist but this book really helped give me the confidence to write and I know I will be able to use those skills in more than just journalism. I would recommend "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Journalism" to anyone who wants to enter a journalism career or just would like to write confidently and accurately.

Requested by my husband

March 27, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My husband submits articles to a small local magazine. His publisher recommended this book for information on journalism. He has written some before, but has no formal training. What he writes now is for pleasure and is a retirement hobby. The locals love seeing their names in print.

For beginners and non-beginners as well

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Don't be tricked by the "The Complete Idiot's Guide to" title: people who are not beginners (or 'idiots') will certainly find this book very helpful. Journalism has many diferent fields to work, each one with it's own challenges. Newspaper, Radio, TV, Online, Magazines. All of these are explained in a descomplicated way.

Great book. Extortion aside

November 10, 2011

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The book is wonderful. Too often we go off blindly dreaming of a career only to end up back in college because we didn't realize "glamour" only makes a camio in the movies and rarely in real life. Journalism is one of those fields. The text in this book should be a summer read for the high school grad dreaming of being a journalist in any field. It explains, in an easy to read manner, the heart break you'll recieve(as well as little pay)if you don't understand the game. It is a game. Knowledge is power and this book can be great in a budding writers arsinal. 1 star for the price of the kindle addition. it is MORE THAN THE ACTUAL BOOK. This is why pople torrent!!!!
