News Reporting & Writing teaches the essential reporting and writing skills within the context of today’s digital media landscape. The Missouri Group, including new author, Beverly Horvit, have extensively revised this edition with diverse examples and a focus on the role of technology to give students a strong foundation in the craft and raise awareness of current issues like fake news and censorship. The team focuses on developing the skills journalists actually use and the many careers in which they, and students, could use them—from working in news, to advertising, to public relations. Much of the text has been rewritten and reorganized to introduce a stronger flow of content paired with the most current coverage of today’s news industry.

And now, Achieve for News Reporting and Writing sets the standard for developing student media writing skills through an all-in-one learning platform that combines the e-book, diagnostics, and powerful media writing tools. A diagnostic grammar and AP style quizzing tool and individualized study plans address the basics, while Achieve Writing Tools guides students through drafting their stories, rubric assessment, peer review, reflection, and revision. Fully editable pre-built writing assignments with rubrics keep students’ media writing skills sharp, allowing space for drafting, peer review, reflection and revision: all in one easy-to-use platform.
