"If you want a book that instructs you about all the technical
skills you need to pass the examinations set by the National
Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and embark on a
career in journalism, then this is the book for you. It outlines
the basic knowledge required to succeed as a trainee reporter.
Shorthand, intros, writing styles, subbing, layout, the way
newsrooms work and how to find things out are among the range of
skills described." - Times Higher Education "Precisely what it says
on the cover - a down-to-earth essential handbook for anyone
embarking on a career in journalism. All you need to know about
avoiding newsroom minefields and attracting the editor's attention
for the right reasons. If only it had been around in my day!' - Bob
Satchwell, Executive Director, Society of Editors This is a book

you need to know, learn and do to succeed as a trainee reporter in

fast, as technology blurs the boundaries between newspapers, radio,
television and web-based media, the reporter's core role remains
the same: to recognise news, communicate with people, gather
information, and create accurate, balanced and readable stories.

explains how to do this. Contents include: what makes a good
reporter what is news, and how to find it how newsrooms work
day-to-day life as a reporter key reporting tasks covering courts
and councils successful interviewing writing news stories

contains a wealth of advice, tips and warnings from working
journalists, a guide to NCTJ training and examinations, a glossary

courses preparing them to become successful reporters.
