The job of a journalist has changed dramatically over the past few decades with satellite links, 24 hour rolling news, and the Internet creating constant pressure for the latest updates.

" Offers a wide range of comment and tips on the best way to approach stories
" Includes interviews with journalists working on a variety of news outlets from the BBC to weekly newspapers.
This book provides a lively and authoritative introduction to journalism and readers will enjoy the insight from a range of journalists.
