Reflecting the fast-changing world of print journalism, the Second Edition of the "Newswriter's Handbook: An Introduction to Journalism" is fully updated and expanded. Authors Stein, Paterno, and Burnett have refined this edition to more fully address contemporary issues.

From spot or hard news to features, newsfeatures, editorials and opinions, the "Newswriter's Handbook" shows how to develop news judgment, how to write accurately and fairly, how to organize a story and write it clearly, how to handle the complexities of honesty and ethics in journalism, and how to cover traditional beats and prepare to specialize.
