This introductory news writing and reporting text features real reporters and real situations. It is a basic introduction which takes a "hands-on" approach that teaches students to write a story at the newsroom computer terminal, and then takes them out on the beat to the press box, the council chamber, the courthouse, the wire service bureau and the press conference. Actual experiences and anecdotes of working journalists are highlighted. This fourth edition has been revised and expanded to include recent news stories and new technological changes in news writing and reporting.

Tolkien Studies is an annual journal of scholarship on J.R.R. Tolkien and his works. Since the publication of The Hobbit in 1937, the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien have been admired throughout the world. With the publication in the 1950s of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien's fantasy writing began to attract academic attention in both the classroom and the world of scholarship. Most recently, Peter Jackson's three-part movie adaptation has added film-study scholars to those fascinated by Tolkien's work. Tolkien Studies: An Annual Scholarly Review is the first scholarly journal published by an academic press for the purpose of presenting and reviewing the growing body of critical commentary and scholarship about Tolkien's writings. The founding editors--Douglas A. Anderson, Michael D. C. Drout, and Verlyn Flieger-- and the members of the editorial board--David Bratman, Carl F. Hostetter, Tom Shippey, Richard C. West, and Marjorie Burns--are all distinguished Tolkien scholars.
