Practical Journalism: How to Write News introduces the beginner to the skills needed to become a journalist in the digital age.
The book draws on interviews with dozens of working journalists. They share their thoughts on the profession and we watch them work - selecting stories, carrying out interviews and writing scripts.
There are chapters on interviewing, research techniques and news writing. Further chapters cover working in broadcasting and online. Media law and ethics are also included.
Most journalists believe they work ethically although few have set rules and others admit to being pressured to behave underhandedly. This book looks at how journalists can work more ethically and provides a guide for beginners.
The book is easy to read. Each chapter concludes with activities and a list of further reading. A glossary of terms is included at the end of the book.
Helen Sissons is Senior Teaching Fellow in News Journalism at the University of Leeds. She has studied from Columbia to the Sorbonne, and worked extensively in News Journalism
