Writing and Reporting the News
Writing and Reporting the News, Second Edition, by Gerald Lanson and Mitchell Stephens provides thorough instructions on writing and reporting and extensive opportunities to apply those instructions. Based on the authors' careers as journalists and on the experience of dozens of other first-rate reporters, this unique textbook/workbook combination gives students a sense of the challenges, pressures, and rewards of the profession. It supplies hundreds of real-life examples and problems designed to accomplish four goals: 1) teach a comprehensive set of complex writing and reporting skills; 2) expose students to real-life sources of information; 3) train students to think and act like reporters; and 4) help students think about words and how they are used.

This book helps to each introductory journalism. It gives great examples from newspapers and the author takes time to explain what the problems that journalist have with writing the news.

I needed this item for a college course and although it took a little longer than I expected, the customer service that I was able to contact replied to me promptly and made sure I received my shipment before too long.

It's easy to understand and they give good simple examples to show the concept in the chapter. There are also exercises at the end of every chapter -- so you can practice.
A good introductory overview
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Without question this is the best introductory journalism textbook on the market. I have used it in my classes for several years. The chapters are short but informative, and the exercises realistic. Primarily focussed on print, the discussion of broadcast journalism is sounder than that found in many books dedictaed to that subject.
