Summary: Covers the Basics Well
Comment: Anyone interested in learning the basics of news gathering and reporting would do well to read this book. It is well written and introduces one to the world of journalism.

In the first chapter a definition of news is given. Included are elements of news which clarifies the definition even further. Accuracy and objectivity are emphasized. Some established reporters would to well to review this basic expectation of journalism.

From there the book talks about what to expect in a newsroom. It talks about the basics of journalistic writing. Interviewing and general assignment coverage are discussed. There's a section on doing research using documents, covering beats, and a seque into more complex stories. The book concludes with a chapter on ethics. This is a great book for beginners or for someone wishing to review the basics of the profession. I have used it as a textbook at colleges and universities where I've taught.
