While the basic “who, what, when, where, and why” of journalism is still relevant, aspiring journalists are now asking “how?” The 21st century of blogs, instant internet access, and 24-hour news shows with minute–by–minute updates has made reporting a whole new—and very competitive—business. Here, a newspaper veteran answers every question about the new world of journalism, and explores every possibility for success. • Covers TV, radio, magazine, newspaper, e-zine, podcast, and internet reporting • Includes a resource list of media outlets, schools, and university programs • Explores different angles for approaching hard news, entertainment, weather, or sports
