Synopsis

Out of the prestigious Missouri School of Journalism, the world’s first journalism school, and from the Missouri Group comes the fourth edition of Telling the Story. Praised for its concise, straightforward approach, the book teaches students the bedrocks of good journalism — from beat reporting, conducting interviews, and strong writing to the unchanging goals of fairness, accuracy and ethics — across all media, print, broadcast, and online. At the same time, Telling the Story prepares students for the ongoing changes in today’s converged newsrooms with the most up-to-date information and guidelines on new trends and technologies — from blogging to podcasting to syndicated newsfeeds.
