Book Reviews of Associated Press Guide to News Writing: The Resource for Professional Journalists
Book Review: A Great and Essential Read for New Writers
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book! As a working journalist for some national newspapers the sentiment here reminded me of what my editors told me when I started out. I also work as a writing professor and started using this as mandatory reading for my newspaper and magazine writing class. The basic premise of the book is to write tightly, clearly and to rid one's work of irritating nonsense and twaddle. It's the only way to get published so the advice is best followed. The examples of news writing that the author offers are also very helpful.
