"Practical Newspaper Reporting", first published in 1966, was the second book commissioned by the National Council for the Training of Journalists. The first was a collection of essays and reminiscences by prominent writers. This completely rewritten fourth edition has a new chapter on how the internet is changing journalism, and extended chapters on investigative reporting and on religion and diversity. David Spark claims in foreword. I won this Sage publishes volume.
