Got this for my Journalism 101 class and it has been my guide and go-to this semester! I'm keeping this one -- as I'm still debating if I'll continue down the journalism path for my major or not, this is a new favorite and it's filled with an incredible amount of helpful information.

There is always something to learn. Also, it is important to refresh the information that you have read before.
