Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough guide for those interested in using journalistic writing techniques to improve their ability to write in English. It's not a guide to becoming a professional journalist or news writer, but rather a textbook and course outline for teachers who are using newspaper writing to excite students' interest in composition. The author, an experienced journalism teacher, writer, and editor, argues that journalistic writing can be used to teach the art of writing through the use of practice material that is interesting and relevant to students' lives. This method of teaching has been shown to greatly improve students' writing abilities while also broadening their knowledge of current events, politics, government, and media. The exercises throughout the book are especially helpful in this regard as they provide students with a hands-on approach to gathering, organizing, and presenting information within a journalistic context.
