- Summary
-
It was with some fear and trembling that this book was first offered to the reading public some years ago. The authors believed that the time had arrived for a systematic discussion of news writing and editing to the end that hundreds of ambitious young folk seeking professional training in colleges and universities might have some familiarity with journalistic practices before entering upon their work. While the book was written primarily as a guide to students enrolled in college courses in journalism, which were then winning their right to be considered important offerings in university catalogues, it was hoped that active practitioners might also find in it a field of profitable study. That hope has been justified. In offering this new edition, the authors have seized the opportunity to make a thorough revision of the text, amplifying many matters in the light of present-day developments, and adding numerous exhibits, illustrations, examples, and exercises. Many chapters have profited by the critical examination given them by friends in newspaper offices and college classrooms.
