- examines the skills needed to work as a journalist in diverse media—newspapers, television, radio and online
- provides case studies as a guide to researching stories, interviewing and writing for each medium, as well as recording material for both radio and television
- offers a range of comments and tips on the best way to approach stories
- includes interviews with journalists working on a variety of news outlets from the BBC to weekly newspapers.
