Synopsis

Book by Chancellor John Mears Walter R

A propos du livre

Booklist

Speaking to cub reporters, former NBC news anchor Chancellor and AP editor Mears impart their wisdom. Making no bones that news judgment is inherently a visceral process, the Chancellor-Mears duo demonstrate their instincts in a variety of events they and colleagues have covered in their careers. As well as posing as raconteurs of old war stories, they stand at the blackboard and give how-to chalk talks for writing a story: how to compose the lead; impose hierarchy on facts; develop diction, grammar, and style; wax poetical or analytical; handle sources and off-the-record ground rules; and, that paramount sine qua non, how to find a job in journalism. However, readers expecting media criticism or a discourse on the business aspects of newspapers get nada from this pair. Whether their testimonials and numerous bromides (such as, "Preparation. You can't do enough of it") actually inspire a recent graduate to hit the bricks, they surely exhibit the old-shoe enthusiasm that makes daily journalism a calling as well as a career.
