[Yellow Jacket · Rating 5 out of 5]

i still like this book even tho it may seem irrelevant in a digital era. The internet requires guidelines on how to operate breaking news. for example, during the tragic paul walker story, i found myself frequently checking over notes from this cp book. tweet but verify y'all.

A new edition for the new millennium. Look up principles, advances, broadcast writing, editing, story construction, taste, writing. You can buy it through the Canadian Press site.
