This brief introduction to journalism upholds all the traditional values that need to be upheld in the profession: hard work, integrity, the ability to ask the right questions and to listen to what people tell you, the importance of starting at the bottom and learning one's craft.Most important, Freedman conveys the importance and the excitement of being a journalist. One doesn't have to cover the White House to be a success; Freedman, a former New York Times reporter who now writes books and teaches at the Columbia School of Journalism, never did that. Rather, good journalism means getting it right, telling the reader how people live day to day, what people care about, how they think and how they feel.Freedman weighs in not only against the Jayson Blairs of the world but against any nonfiction writer who fudges the details in the interest of a better story, who uses composite characters, or who makes himself or herself the story. But he's no fuddy-duddy. The unique camaraderie of newspaper work, the late nights, the deadlines, even the rounds of drinks at seedy bars --they're all here. And he gives more than adequate thought to technology, recognizing that many of the young journalists he's addressing may be writing for Web sites rather than traditional newspapers.And he cares about writing. Freedman argues for "a certain kind of subtle, dignified, formally correct prose against the slickness that too often passes for literary style, that grab-bag of sentence fragments, cliches, and elaborate metaphors." He quotes a colleague: "When the reporter in you is finished, then the writer in you has to lock the reporter out of the room. And when the writer in you is finished, then the editor in you has to lock the writer out of the room."All told, this is an indispensable book for anyone who's starting out as a journalist. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Read *by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016* I had to read this book for a J-school class. It was deep and personal. After reading this book, I decided that I didn't want to be a journalist. Nevertheless, it was a great book and I was fortunate enough to meet the author when he came to my school. He teaches at Columbia J-school. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring Read for an upcoming Journalist! *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014* I gave this book to my oldest daughter, who is a 2nd year college journalism major! WOW...I am so glad I discoveredthis telling book for her on Amazon! A MUST READ for any student with a journalism major or just an interestin it. Years from now, she will look back at certain advice in this book!
