The Press and America: An Interpretive History of the Mass Media (9th Edition)

The Press and America traces how major events in U.S. ...

McGraw-Hill, 2000

Great Companion for the Broadcast Journalist
Most journalists would be familiar with the Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law, better known as the "AP Stylebook". Well, this is the broadcast version. The back half of this book will look very familiar to those of us who have seen the stylebook, but the front half is all new, giving good tips on how to write good broadcast stories. As a broadcast journalism student myself, I ...

The Associated Press Guide to Punctuation

7 reviews

Basic Books, 2003

The gold standard
For journalists, the AP style guides are pretty much the gold standard (or silver, depending on your economic policy leanings). With so much terrible grammar and punctuation, and often lack of punctuation, present in today's world, this is a must-have for aspiring writers, especially journalists.

Saint Mary's Press College Study Bible: New American Bible

5 reviews

Saint Mary's Press, 2007

Excellent Study Resource
This bible is a treasure for the serious student. It gathers in one place much information required for unbiased scripture study. It has proven to be invaluable in my exegetical research, containing a scholastically-accepted scripture translation, as well as extensive notation to aide in understanding of the text. It is augmented with many maps and charts, as well as explanatory essays that aid ...

Associated Pr, 1997

Wouldn't write without it
Also know as the AP style guide, this book should be every copywriter's and journalist's bookshelf. This is the definitive guide to punctuation, grammar and writing style for magazine and newspaper articles as well as most business writing. And it is vastly different from the style of writing most of us learned in school, which follows the Chicago Manual of Style. If you are thinking about ...

The Press Effect: Politicians, Journalists, and the Stories that Shape the Political World

5 reviews
Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Paul Waldman

Oxford University Press, USA, 2004

A must read for all journalists
The press is in crisis--it no longer serves its most important role, which is to cut through political spin to get at the facts. Jamieson and Waldman make a convincing case that the press is so intent on creating compelling storylines that it has lost its critical edge. For all journalists out there--please read it!

W. Lance Bennett, Regina G. Lawrence, ...

University Of Chicago Press, 2008

A harsh critique of today's press & media.
Freedom of the Press is one of the most fundamental freedoms in the American constitution. Then we have presidential scandals - and sadly watch as the media does exactly what the government intends for them to do. "When the Press Fails: Political Power and the News Media From Iraq to Katrina" is an examination of today's media and a criticism of their over-reliance on official sources. It also ...

Cappon

Arco, 1999

This author is the epitome of witty
Even if you're not interested in journalism - if all that you're looking for is a fun read - then pick up this book. He takes examples of good work and explains why it's good, as well as poor work and points out the deficiencies in a way this is both entertaining and enlightening. I don't agree with all of his opinions, but I very much enjoyed the book nonetheless.

Basic Books, 2007

Helpful
This was quite helpful while taking a journalism course. It takes a few minutes to understand the layout of the book to lookup things, but once you get it, it's easy. I think this book helped raise me a letter grade in my course. Anyone taking a journalism course with a strict professor or planning on entering journalism should get a copy. My textbook had a reference in it, but it was ...

Skip Press

Alpha, 2008

Ever wondered what a screenwriter is?
Have you ever wondered what a screenwriter is and how one writes for the screen? Prior to my reading this book I had no idea how a screenwriter went about practicing his craft. In all honesty the only knowledge I had of screenwriters is their name flashing on either a movie screen or a television screen. Who are these writers, what do they do, how do they write for the screen? All of these ...

Esq. Richard S. Levick, Larry Smith

Watershed Press, 2007

Advanced Strategies for Crisis Communication
Don't buy this book for your PR department. Buy it for your attorneys. Levick bridges the gap between the need for an organization to speak publicly during a crisis and its legal department's desire to keep the corporate yap locked tight. An attorney himself, Levick understands perception trumps fact, and that at crisis time the real battle won't happen in a court of law; it's already ...

The Flash Press: Sporting Male Weeklies in 1840s New York (Historical Studies of Urban America)

Patricia Cline Cohen, Timothy J. Gilfoyle, ...

University Of Chicago Press, 2008

The Titillation of the Times
In the 1840s, New Yorkers didn't have _Hustler_ or _Screw_ magazine, but they didn't go without their titillation in print. They could get to the newsstand and buy _The Flash_, _The Rake_, _The Whip_, or _The Libertine_, and get a dash of bold, provocative, and spicy prose, with saucy pictures. The papers are long gone, and would have been forgotten ephemera had not a treasure trove of them ...

The Institutions of American Democracy: The Press (Institutions of American Democracy Series)

3 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

The Press
[...]As with everything in our lives the pendulum is never static. It usually swings too far to the right for a period of time then overcompensates by swinging too far to the left. It seldom spends a lot of time precisely balanced in the middle providing a perfect balance of left/right thinking and action. We've seen this with the dramatic growth of on-line "journalists" or breed that Dan ...

Colorful and engaging program
This is the first grade level workbook. If your child already knows his/her alphabet and phonemes, the K workbook would probably be a waste of time. If not, use games and activities to teach the alphabet, then begin with this one. This workbook is fantastic. I was going to buy one of those Wal-Mart workbooks, but had heard marvelous things about the MCP workbook, so I bought it, and we love ...
