Editorial Reviews
Review
"This really is a superb book and a ‘must have’ for any aspiring journalist" -
Jane Taylor, Head of Journalism, the Surrey Institute of Art & Design University College
"Each edition of this key textbook gets better. It is a mine of information from which aspiring journalists can extract nuggets of gold, managing to be both comprehensive and detailed while combining a sense of history with up-to-date events. Most important of all, Richard Keeble consistently points to the need for improvements to journalistic ethics. Quite simply, it's a must read"
- Professor Roy Greenslade, Department of Journalism, City University
'something quite unique in its attempt to untie theroy and practice within a single volume... Keeble is doing to journalism what John Berger did to art appreciation with the aim here of developing the reflective journalist in a global world... The Newspapers Handbook will remain the definitive work because of the range, quality and depth of its content.' - Rob Melville, Journalism Practice

*Interviews with journalists about their working practices
*Examples of writing from a range of recent publications.
