Subject: New Books and A/Vs in Park Library arriving in April 2006

Greetings!

Here are the latest arrivals. They are not yet catalogued, so if youwant to examine them, please check with me personally.

BOOKS

1. Getting the Whole Story: Reporting and Writing the News. By Cheryl Gibbs andTom Warhover. Guilford Press, 2002.
[Note: While I confess to special preference for Jan Yopp's and Kathy McAdams'book, Reaching audiences: A Guide to Media Writing -- 4th edition due later in2006 -- Gibbs' and Warhover's book offers some things of value. Besides a glossary of newsroom terms and a section on journalists/ creeds and ethicscodes, there is a description of news jobs including a *small* mention of"Others Who Contribute to the News Report: librarians and researchers. ]

2. News in a New America. By Sally Lehrman. Published by the Knight Foundation,2005.
[Note: Actually, this a report focusing on diversity in the media wih ampleimages to compliment the text of the 152 page publication. It includes aDiversity Resource Guide as well as the Dedman-Doig Study of NewspaperEmployment. There is heavy use of statistics, charts, and lists.]

3. America's Best Newspaper Writing: a collection of ASNE prizewinners. 2ndedition. By Roy Peter Clark and Christopher Scanlan. The Poynter Institute,2006.
[Note: this book introduces readers to prizewinning articles relating todeadline writing, beat reporting, crime and courts news coverage, obituaries and funerals, and terrorism, war and disasters. A special section offers "TheClassics" in reporting with articles going as far back as 1917. The bookconcludes about the craft of writing and ethical, honest writing. Good stuffhere.]

4. Communicating Ethically: Character, Duties, Consequences, and Relationships.By William W. Neher and Paul J. Sandin. Published by Pearson, 2007.
[Note: this book delivers what it promises in its title. In addition, it offersmodels and case studies of ethical principles to mass media. Specifically, itdiscusses the roles of political consultants and lobbyists to mention two. Thebook concludes with a debate about the reality of teaching and learning ofethics. A glossary and bibliography are also included.]

5. Writer's Market, 2006.
[Note: earlier editions of this book have a way of disappearing from our ParkLibrary. I guess that is testimony to the fact that the book is useful. For now, I'm keeping this latest edition in my office.]

6. Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper.By Laurel Leff. Published by Cambridge University Press, 2005.
[Note: Leff's book is referring to The New York Times. This book stirred quitean interest recently among journalists and journalism educators. The authorpresented a paper, "Rebuffing Refugee Journalists: The Profession's Failure toHelp Jews Persecuted by Nazi Germany" at the AEJMC 2005 conference. I have acopy of this paper as well.]

7. Introduction to Video Production: Studio, Field, and Beyond. By Ronald J.Compesi and Jaime S. Gomez. Published by Pearson, 2006.

8. Reporters: Memoirs of a Young Newspaperman. By Will Fowler. Published byRoundtable, 1991.
