Praise for Reaching Audiences
The focus of this text is perfect. I’m a strong believer that mass media writers must consider audience, above all, when writing. [In this text] there isn’t extraneous material. It goes to the point of each media style and includes good examples.
~ James Aucoin, University of SouthAlabama

~ Roberta Kelly, WashingtonState University
It’s the only book which addresses writing fundamentals in a basic and usable way.
~ Deborah Petersen-Perlman, Universityof MinnesotaDuluth
Reaching Audiences is straightforward and to the point. The authors work hard at making points very clear in each chapter and section. They speak directly to students with direct language.
