Description
All the News: Writing and Reporting for Convergent Media is the first textbook to teach students how to write for a convergent newsroom where they will be required to report in print, online, radio and television formats. Grounded in the fundamentals of good news writing, students will also learn about journalistic ethics, writing for a diverse population, and mastering the mechanics of communicating through different media.
The goal of the basic news writing course is to prepare students to be proficient at evaluating information and crafting well written stories.
