Helps understand the fundamentals of writing and reporting in a real live situation. An extreme help for beginner journalists or writers.

This book is a required text for a journalism class I'm taking at a junior college. It is extremely well written, and the best part is, it's written in simple terms. As a beginner, I'm finding the information extremely helpful. I haven't looked at the CD yet.

As a student using this textbook, I have found that Rich is clear and direct in her instructions and gives examples that are easy to understand and follow. This is a must-have for any novice in journalism or a student learning to write for print journalism.
A Great Way to Teach Writing March 27, 2000

I started using this text in my beginning reporting and writing classes a year ago. It was a strange experience: My students actually loved a textbook! I think that because this text does a good job of getting over the touchy-feely parts of treating the writing and editing processes as coaching processes, and shows how it's actually done. My students were able to convert her perspectives into some good work during our one-semester course. I'll be using this book again for some time to come.
