This new Canadian edition is a comprehensive and confidence-boosting introduction to journalism. Helping students develop a solid journalistic skill set, it offers straightforward instruction on the basics - newswriting style, story structure, interviewing techniques, reporting on speeches and meetings, common ethical dilemmas, grammar - and practical guidance on more advanced topics such as broadcast writing, Canadian law, and public relations. Lively end-of-chapter exercises encourage hands-on application of new skills. Checklists recapping main points, boxed features that highlight specific topics, as well as suggested readings and useful websites support student learning. Accessible and engaging, the new Canadian edition of Reporting for the Media is an indispensable guide for journalists in training.

"Written with clarity, authority, and an eye for the students who want to learn. . . and the journalism professors (read: former newspaper reporters) who may be struggling to teach what they have learned simply by doing in a deadline-oriented newsroom. This book offers a how-to guide for both." --Kamal Al-Solaylee, School of Journalism, Ryerson University
