Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I'm particularly impressed with the book's strong emphasis on why journalism matters. I've read many other news writing textbooks and they tend to pay little if no attention to this important question. The book also is a gold mine of great original tips about writing and storytelling. The authors provide plenty of fresh insights helpful not only to students, but working journalists as well."
- James T. Mulder, reporter, The Syracuse Post-Standard & adjunct professor, S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications
