Review

A review in the June 2012 issue of Journalism & Mass Communication Education (volume 67, number 2, pages 184-85) acclaims this book, which "celebrates the best of journalism and offers aspiring journalists a guide for following the most vaunted traditions in the field." The reviewer notes that the book has "a fresh, contemporary feel, with numerous references to new technologies of newsgathering, such as social media, blogs, online reporting tools, and even the use of email by reporters." She praises the author, who has done "an impressive job of following up on stories by finding the journalists involved in the original incidents and updating the narratives with their reflections on what had happened." The reviewer concludes by stating that "young journalists of all stripes who are serious about making a difference and exemplifying the best professional standards will find a great deal of inspiration from Martin's ideas, a great deal of encouragement from his hopeful tone." --From a review in the June 2012 issue of Journalism & Mass Communication Editor
