Writing for Journalists

Product Description

Writing for Journalists is about the craft of journalistic writing: how to put one word after another so that the reader gets the message or the joke, goes on reading and comes back for more. It introduces the reader to the essentials of good writing, making use of many examples of previously published work and critically analyzing stories and reviews from daily and weekly newspapers, magazines, periodicals and specialist trade journals. Whether students, trainees or professionals, this handy guide is perfect for anyone who writes for newspapers and periodicals.
