The Complete Idiot's Guide to Journalism (Complete Idiot's Guide to)

I'd taken journalism courses in college and had experience in magazine writing and book writing, but after being hired for a newspaper, I wanted to brush up on my skill level, specifically powerful leads. I browsed this book initially just to remind myself of formatting (who, what, when, where, why), but by me being a Web Editor, I found the Internet chapter more interesting than the writing chapter, although the writing chapter was good. I ended up finishing this book after checking it out from the library and buying it to keep as reference material. It covers all areas of journalism: magazine, TV, newspaper, radio, and Internet. The glossary and the different top lists are excellent information to have onhand. The "Idiot's Guide" title may make people a little put off about reading it at first, but I think I'll try other "Idiot's Guide" books because if they're anywhere near as informative as this one, I'd like to see what else is out there.
