Customer Reviews

Every journalist should read this

An editor recommended this book to me back when I landed my first job on a copy desk. It was an inspiration. I have since moved on to progressively higher positions and am now editor in chief of a big-city daily. I would recommend this book for anyone who seeks an editorial position - reporters, editors, copy editors, even photographers. No other book, except maybe AP's The Word, will put you in a better frame of mind for producing high-quality journalism.
