The Complete Idiot's Guide to Journalism: An Insider Look at the Media Revolution-and Your Place in It

by Christopher K. Passante

Overview

Breaking news! This is like having J-school in a book. 

In recent years, news reporting has dramatically changed. While the basic “who, what, when, where, and why” of journalism is still relevant, aspiring journalists are now asking “how?” The 21st century of blogs, instant internet access, and 24-hour news shows with minute–by–minute updates has made reporting a whole new—and very competitive—business. Here, a newspaper veteran answers every question about the new world of journalism, and explores every possibility for success.

• Covers TV, radio, magazine, newspaper, e-zine, podcast, and internet reporting
• Includes a resource list of media outlets, schools, and university programs
• Explores different angles for approaching hard news, entertainment, weather, or sports
