Notes on the text

Our textbook for Newswriting was extremely easy to read. I enjoyed the style of writing and the generous amount of examples and screen shots to help understand which ever concept was being taught for that specific chapter. The book provides a great overview of newswriting.

I believe the text was slightly too full of examples and mini-stories. In order to improve the book, I suggest excluding some examples and replacing them with more instruction.
