Reviews

This is not merely a guidebook to journalism books, but a comprehensive, up-to-date, annotated source on where to find answers to most questions about journalism, mostly concentrating on newspaper and broadcast news. The author, who is the chief librarian at the respected Poynter Institute for Media Studies (and an LJ book reviewer), suggests reference books (including bibliographies, encyclopedias, and dictionaries), indexes, computer databases, manuals (including handbooks and stylebooks), catalogs, and guides to microform collections. She also includes guidelines on 50 "core publications" in the field, 75 major and 100 minor journalistic societies and associations, and 100 research centers, archives, and media institutions. The annotations supply sufficient information to help a researcher decide on whether to follow through on a lead. Recommended for every media collection.
