ONLINE JOURNALISM: REPORTING, WRITING AND EDITING FOR NEW MEDIA is the first truly comprehensive textbook available that can teach students how to report, write, and edit strictly for online media. Unlike other texts that simply "tweak" traditional writing and editing techniques, ONLINE JOURNALISM was created specifically with the Internet in mind. Written in a lively style, this book will appeal to students who want to explore writing opportunities with online media. It is also supplemented by an in-depth Web site that provides links to relevant current stories and sound clips of interviews with professionals.

Review:

"The single most important strength of this book is that it is broad, but detailed. It covers the range of issues and topics that students need to know in order to better understand the online environment and to succeed in that special subsection called journalism."

"(ONLINE JOURNALISM's) strongest aspect is that is devotes the majority of the chapters to reporting and editing in a Web environment."

"This book has the potential to make a fresh contribution to the online journalism course because it contains material, such information specifically about online writing and multimedia formats, not in other texts."
