An anthology andtextbook in one, this volume enhances students' critical thinking skills and overall understanding of their discipline.

Naipaul, Susan Sontag, and John Hersey, to Seymour Hersh, David Halberstam, and Tom Wolfe. The book's content and organization are designed to strengthen students' practicalskills. The authors introduce and promote the development of 'The Editor's Lexicon'--terms that guide the creation of journalistic texts and direct their repair and evaluation.

Each section features a concluding study guide and exercises that have been class-tested by the authors. These features provide for the effective use of the book by educators and students alike.
