New chapters from John Turner, Nick Nuttall and Mark Hanna explore the specializms of local and national government reporting, investigative journalism and covering the courts. The Newspapers Handbook includes: interviews with journalists about their working practices examples of writing from a range of recent publications a guide to training and career opportunities the importance of new technologies for the newspaper industry an updated glossary of key terms and a revised bibliography. The Newspapers Handbook encourages a critical approach to newspaper practice, and maintains its standing as a must-have student and professional resource.
'something quite unique in its attempt to untie theroy and practice within a single volume.. Keeble is doing to journalism what John Berger did to art appreciation with the aim here of developing the reflective journalist in a global world... The Newspapers Handbook will remain the definitive work because of the range, quality and depth of its content.' - Rob Melville, Journalism Practice
