Review: "At the root of all forms of journalism is the desire to accurately tell a story. While news reporting remains the staple of contemporary journalism, opportunities are increasingly opening up for feature writers and even those who aspire to write longer forms of journalism and creative non-fiction. Using clear, concise descriptions of styles and techniques, this book illustrates how to research and write stories, navigate legal and ethical issues, and market and sell your work."--BOOK JACKET.
