An ideal reader for aspiring journalists, the volume provides quality models students can study and emulate. Poynter′s renowned faculty--including Roy Peter Clark, Karen Dunlap, Tom French, Kenny Irby, Chip Scanlan, and Keith Woods--take your students "Behind the Story" with the book′s much heralded features. In-depth interviews with the winners let readers benefit from unique insight into how these reporters developed their stories into, in some cases, Pulitzer Prize-winning pieces. Ethical challenges are tackled, as are discussions of how to report and present news online."Sources Say" features offer students perspective on a piece from those at the heart of the story, while the ever-popular "X-Ray Readings" are back, dissecting articles to show students exactly how writers ply their craft, sentence by sentence. Always covering the range of journalism, this edition showcases sections on breaking news, investigative reporting, editorials, narrative writing, columns, photojournalism, plus new sections on covering immigration, race and ethnicity, and writing about human connections.
"America's Best Newspaper Writing" represents the "best-of-the-best" from 25 years of the American Society of Newspaper Editors (ASNE) Distinguished Writing Awards competition. With an emphasis on local reporting, new stories including more on crisis coverage, and pedagogical tools to help students become better writers, the second edition is the most useful and up-to-date anthology available for feature writing and introduction to journalism classes.
Best Newspaper Writing 2002 celebrates the winners of the ASNE Distinguished Writing Awards, including the Jesse Laventhol Prizes honoring deadline reporting, and featuring the Community Service Photojournalism Award on a companion CD-ROM. N.R. Kleinfeld of the New York Times reconstructed the morning of Sept. 11 with stories and stunning details. Jim Dwyer's short stories in the New York Times, resurrected from the smallest pieces of Sept. 11 debris, accomplish a feat that Dwyer himself describes in one of his poignant stories. The Wall Street Journal staff, amid a cloud of personal grief and national uncertainty, produced stories so stirring, encompassing, and complete that they remained relevant and vibrant long after Sept. 11. John McCormick, an editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune, displays amazing range -- from the contradictions of praying for peace amid war in Afghanistan, to a tribute to a murdered Chicago cop. Steve Lopez's storytelling always surprises, whether he's chronicling the unfolding tragedy of Sept. 11, or knocking back a six-pack of beer and a dozen doughnuts in the name of journalistic inquiry. Anne Hull of the Washington Post explores the gentrification of a neighborhood and the aftershocks of Sept. 11. Ellen Barry of the Boston Globe writes of the "Lost Boys" of Sudan, and their odyssey from African cattle herders to urban teens. J. Albert Diaz of the Miami, Herald captures the elusive concept of the American Dream.
