The job of a journalist has changed dramatically over the past few decades with satellite links, 24 hour rolling news, and the Internet creating constant pressure for the latest updates. But for all that, the fundamentals of doing the job remain the same: it's about identifying a story, getting the interviews, and delivering a balanced and interesting report.
An Introduction to Journalism examines the skills needed to work as a journalist in newspapers, television, radio, and online. This book provides case studies as a guide to researching stories, interviewing, and writing for each medium, as well as recording material for both radio and television. It offers a wide range of comments and tips on the best way to approach stories and includes interviews with journalists working on a variety of news outlets, from the BBC to weekly newspapers.
This book provides a lively and authoritative introduction to journalism and readers will enjoy the insight from a range of journalists.

An excellent resource giving students a broad range of insights into the world of journalism. The book contains some very valuable personal accounts and insights from industry professionals which add to the text and bring it to life. This book will be a valuable addition to supplement teaching and recommended reading, especially to those students studying journalism over a one-year post graduate degree and wanting a book that gives them an overview into a range of areas within the profession.
