First sentence: Beginning journalists are often bewildered by the sheer number of rules they are asked to follow in constructing a news story, especially when these rules seem to contradict much of what they have learned about writing in composition classes.
Description: The third edition of WRITING THE NEWS continues the tradition of its predecessors by providing journalists with a clear and concise introduction to the craft of newswriting. In addition to updating and adding to the number of examples from the conemporary press, this new edition includes a section on the increasingly popular narrative form of the news feature and an expanded chapter on news style.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 151) and index.
