Covering various aspects of the reporter's job, this guide considers: what is news; how the modern newsroom operates; how facts are gathered and checked; the reporter and picture ideas; techniques of interviewing; news writing and newspaper language; reporting the courts; aspects of sportswriting; feature writing and arts reviewing; and more. 'The book would stand on its own as a style manual - but it goes much further than that... It is very much the journalist's how-to manual.'
