Newswriting Guide has been an invaluable reference tool for journalism students and teachers for 20 years. In this updated fourth edition, you'll find quick answers to all your questions about the ten basic areas that are vital to student reporters. Style, format, punctuation, quotations, how to write a lead, interviewing techniques-it's all here, in concise, well-organized sections to make it easy to find what you need. It's not just for students: publicity writers, newsletter editors and almost any writer will find it useful and user-friendly. Whether you wonder whether to use an apostrophe in "its" or you need ideas on starting a feature story, Newswriting Guide has the answers. "This is a mini-text that effectively summarizes what the texts have to say. It can be used not only by school paper staffs but by club publicity staffs too, in fact by anyone who has to deal with media on a regular basis. And after a student has read the 'regular' text, this is a handy reminder of the material covered there." -Ed Eaton, Former Head, Journalism Department, Green River Community College.

TV news provides the most compelling and persuasive source of information on earth. Whatever field you work in, the news affects your life.

In Confessions of a Freelance Writer, Terry Morris, already retired and in her seventies, wrote her recollections of the outstanding experiences she had during her forty-year career as one of the top magazine writers in the United States. From the more than 100 articles she published in many widely circulated magazines, including McCall’s, Red- book, Reader’s Digest, and Cosmo- politan, she selects outstanding examples and describes her methods of obtaining the stories, how she sold them, and their aftermath. She characterizes herself as a “garbage pail”— someone who picks up ideas and leads from throwaway lines others have discarded and builds them into personal-interest stories about all types of ordinary people in extreme situations. She also discusses how she established relationships with key figures in publishing in order to see her stories in print. This book should be of interest not only to the average reader but to aspiring authors in a large mass market.
