Recent Product Reviews:

This is a useful A-Z of everything to do with journalism that should be on any media student's desk.Journalism can be a very technical subject and armed with this book, students can pick their way through the jargon-filled journalistic fog with confidence.There doesn't seem to be a term that isn't in there. Comprehensive isn't the word.
Mr Ian Barnsley, East Coast Media, Grimsby Institute of Further and Higher Education
A really special book. It should be the first port of call for my students when doing their assignments.
Mr Adrian Quinn, Communication & Media, University of Liverpool
'The five authors have drawn on their enormous range of experience in newspaper and broadcast journalism, at national and regional level, as well as their teaching expertise for this book, which will be essential reading for students in journalism, and as invaluable reference tool for their professional careers' -www.HoldtheFrontPage.co.uk
