This introductory news writing and reporting text features real reporters and real situations. It is a basic introduction which takes a "hands-on" approach that teaches students to write a story at the newsroom computer terminal, and then takes them out on the beat to the press box, the council chamber, the courthouse, the wire service bureau and the press conference. Actual experiences and anecdotes of working journalists are highlighted. This fourth edition has been revised and expanded to include recent news stories and new technological changes in news writing and reporting.
