News reporting can be a difficult task, especially with all the preparation and responsibilities involved. With practice and focus, however, reporters can cover stories in a way that will give readers a clear and detailed picture of the news in question. Many news stories are based on events, whether private or public, planned or unplanned. For solid event reporting, journalists should take a number of things along with them. A writing instrument and paper, of course, are essential. Voice recorders are an excellent means for capturing quotes or recording notes, but should a technological problem occur, reporters will need some sort of backup for recording information. The book is designed to help the students and professionals to quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need for good reporting.
