In conjunction with H.L. Hall and Megan Fromm, we've updated this textbook for your classroom use. The book covers everything from Interviewing and Design to Sports Writing and Careers in Journalism. There are also chapters on Yearbook Copy and Managing a News Website. You can order you class copies here through Rosen Publishing.
