The companion book to Professional News Reporting, this volume offers readers a look at advanced information gathering techniques. Easy-to-read and well illustrated, this text goes beyond a general introduction to news reporting by focusing on advanced and specialized reporting skills. Filled with contemporary examples from award-winning newspapers and television stations, it is designed for students with a foundation in news writing. To help them hone their skills, it provides chapters which focus on a variety of specialized report types. Mirroring numerous changes in the art and science of information gathering in the past decade, this important volume provides useful strategy tips complete with recent illustrative examples.
The final chapter focuses on computer-based reporting -- a must for any professional journalist -- and the appendix lists investigative reporting resources contributed by Orlando Sentinel reporter Jim Leusner.
