520 _aOver the course of a thirty-year career, Samuel Freedman has excelled both at doing journalism and teaching it, and he passionately engages both of these endeavors in the pages of this book. As an author and journalist, Freedman has produced award-winning books, investigative series, opinion columns, and feature stories and has become a specialist in a wide variety of fields. As a teacher, he has shared his expertise and experience with hundreds of students, who have gone on to succeed in both print and broadcast media. Here, he conducts an extended conversation with young journalists--from kids on the high school paper to graduates starting their first jobs. Whether he's talking about radio documentaries or TV news shows, Internet blogs, or backwater beats, shoeleather research or elegant prose, his goal is to explore the habits of mind that make an excellent journalist--and to offer students and journalists wise guidance and professional inspiration.--From publisher description.
520 1 _a"In Letters to a Young Journalist, Samuel G. Freedman conducts an extended conversation with young journalists - from kids on the high school paper to graduates starting their first jobs. It's a conversation about why journalists do what they do, and how they do it, and how we take stock of what they've done. Whether he's talking about radio documentaries or TV news shows, Internet blogs, or backwater beats, Freedman's goal is to explore reporting, writing, and thinking - and the habits of mind that make an excellent journalist. In doing so he gives us a proud defense of traditions - shoe-leather research, elegant prose, a sense of social purpose, a commitment to objectivity - that have made American journalism a unique and remarkable enterprise. This mission of journalists is even more important in an era of instant news, uncontrolled rumor, and online chats that often take the place of hard news."--BOOK JACKET.
