DESCRIPTION:
Includes a brief history of American journalism and discusses the duties of a journalist, styles of writing, the parts of a newspaper, newspaper and yearbook design, photography, and careers in journalism.
Introductory chapters cover the history of American journalism, the rights and responsibilities of journalists, and style conventions.

Information on advertising, photography, and careers in journalism rounds out the coverage. Chapters on writing news, sports, features, editorials, columns, headlines, and captions follow. Other updates include current events (e.g., the Don Imus controversy), emerging technologies such as RSS feeds and podcasts, and digital photography.

Exercises that conclude each chapter provide many opportunities for students to practice the skills described. All rights reserved. Some advice borders on qua

I'm considering ordering a class set, if the shipping cost isn't too high.
