N2  - Publisher Synopsis

"This book sets the tone early and is a warning to beginner journalists-lazy thinking and doing enough to get by won't cut it. Everything a journalist does involves learned skills, starting with critical thinking. If you don't know how to properly approach a story and think on your feet, the rest of your story just falls apart." -- Kimberly Schumacher "This could be the textbook I've been waiting for. It is easy to understand, has a logical flow of information, and doesn't have too much "noise" that makes the material overwhelming for beginning reporters." -- John Coward "This book is representative of the skills students should have when they go into their first internship or job." -- Wendy M. Whitt "This book is an exceptional introduction into the world of journalistic writing and editing. The author turns the material into a discussion, allowing students to better grasp the concepts at hand." -- Dante Mozie "Dynamics for News Reporting and Writing provides a resource for professionals and students of journalism alike that engages readers to become active participants through digital and real-world examples/lessons. The text encourages readers to perform exceptional journalistic work while providing the background theory and concepts required to be successful in this competitive industry." -- Rheanna R. Rutledge "A comprehensive and conversational look at what every beginning journalist needs to know in the quickly changing media environment." -- Terry Heifetz "Dynamics for News Reporting and Writing is a compelling text incorporating up-to-date information in a very readable, student-friendly format. It is well worth review when considering new texts for a journalism course." -- Stephanie Reese Masson
