Excerpt from A Course in Journalistic Writing
The title of a book is often the hardest part to write. The title of this book is admittedly a compromise. When the manuscript was submitted to various high-school and college teachers of the subject, each suggested a different title to express the content and purpose of the work - "News Writings," "English Composition with Journalistic Exercises," "Beginnings in Journalism," "Journalistic Writing," and others. The author admits that none exactly suits his idea, although essentially all signify the same effort - to utilize the interest in newspaper writing in the task of teaching students to write. To one teacher this may be merely English composition; to another it may be vocational or pre-vocational training. Each, however, is likely to use the same materials in much the same way. Whatever the title may be, the author has endeavored to put together the ingredients found in most courses of this type.
The book is a new departure in that it is not concerned with journalism in the professional sense, as have been tho books written for newspaper workers and for students in the fully organized schools of journalism in the universities. It does not purpose to train newspaper workers, but it aims to be a textbook and course outline for teachers who are using newspaper writing as a stimulus to student effort in composition.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough guide for those interested in using journalistic writing techniques to improve their ability to write in English. It's not a guide to becoming a professional journalist or news writer, but rather a textbook and course outline for teachers who are using newspaper writing to excite students' interest in composition. The author, an experienced journalism teacher, writer, and editor, argues that journalistic writing can be used to teach the art of writing through the use of practice material that is interesting and relevant to students' lives. This method of teaching has been shown to greatly improve students' writing abilities while also broadening their knowledge of current events, politics, government, and media. The exercises throughout the book are especially helpful in this regard as they provide students with a hands-on approach to gathering, organizing, and presenting information within a journalistic context. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
