Reporting for the Media
Now in its eighth edition, Reporting for the Media continues its
outstanding tradition in journalism education. Providing both students
and instructors with a firm foundation on which to build journalistic
success, it emphasizes the most important skills and characteristics of
effective reporters--how to be engaged in and curious about the world
and how to articulate a good story. Reporting for the Media, 8/e,
introduces students to news writing and reporting by focusing on such
basics as grammar and mechanics, traditional story structures and
styles, interviewing techniques, reporting on speeches and meetings,
and common ethical dilemmas. Taking into consideration the increasingly
multimedia nature of journalism, this new edition includes material on
broadcast writing and convergence. It also covers prewriting, using the
Internet, and computer-assisted reporting. The eighth edition features
new exercises in nearly every chapter, expanded coverage of
grammar--including parts of speech--and thoroughly updated real-life
examples and illustrations, many covering issues that have arisen since
9/11. As in previous editions, this book features reading lists,
discussion questions, suggested projects, five useful appendices, and
end-of-chapter checklists. Reporting for the Media, 8/e, is an ideal
text for introductory news writing and reporting courses.
Fifty Economic Fallacies Exposed
Since 1988, Professor Geoffrey Wood of the Sir John Cass Business School,
City of London, has written a regular column in the IEA's journal
Economic Affairs, in which he exposes popular economic fallacies. This
book collects fifty of these columns and exposes numerous common
fallacies - for example, about the supposed dangers of free trade, the
abilities of governments to control the economy, the effects of
government regulation, and establishing the "correct" rate at which to
join The Euro.
These lucid and stimulating columns are invaluable to students
struggling to master some of the complexities of economic theory and
its applications, who often find the most effective way to learn
economic analysis is to see such fallacies exposed. It is a text
particularly suitable for first-year economics students, complementing
existing textbooks as it does, and clarifying basic concepts in
economics while demonstrating the practical uses of economic theory.
