Writing for News Media Bewertungen

Kathryn Bowd, Department of Media, University of Adelaide, South Australia - 'Strong focus on writing; critical engagement with information; different types of stories... Given the number of journalists working across media platforms, its breadth seems fairly limited. it could be valuable in a course that is heavily focused on developing English language writing skills with a particular focus on journalism... The fact that this is a non-US publication would work in its favour, given that the US experience has limited relevance to journalism students and practitioners in many other parts of the world.'

Clare Lovell, Journalism and Publishing, Kingston University, UK - 'It appears to be quite focused on basic skills of news writing. It looks quite brief and handy as an aide memoire and how to volume for busy (or distracted) students. The author is keen to emphasise writing for digital media. The idea of 10 + skills is engaging... as a core text it would need other texts to supplement it. These would need to focus on reporting/interviewing, research etc... It sounds very practical and useful for news writers just starting out.'

Wendy Sloane, Journalism, London Metropolitan University, UK - 'The book seeks to sum up all aspects of News Writing and covers most things. It doesn't tell how students can FIND a story, however, which they find very difficult. It also does not tell how to pitch a story. ... I think he needs to write more on writing for different audiences and writing in different formats.'


'From raw trainees through to the most experienced journalists, this is an essential handbook for any writer. Writing for News Media has been created by someone who clearly loves words and knows the importance of using them correctly for effective storytelling.'

Dave Morgan, Head of Copy and Style, The Sun, UK
