Lack of Citation
I found that this book is a practical book as it gives lot of do's and don't. However, this book should incorporate proper citation method. For instance, on page 6, "Research has shown... audience may not return to a medium one they have abandoned it for another." I would like to know who says this and form where it is obtained.
On page 241, the writers quote Judith Lewis book on Trauma and Recovery. I just wondering form what page was it extracted. Nevertheless, this book complements many other books as it gives media practitioner stand point. Certainly they need "polishing" as written on page 16.

Great Book ( chrisivc )
The book has a pretty logical sequence of chapters. I found this book easy to read and it had good examples. I would recommend this book be used with the AP style book to better your understanding of writing in the media. The last chapter was a little more difficult to grasp than the other chapters but it was a great book overall.

Great package
A book which I bought was good. Just several markers on pages but it does not problem. Package was orifessional and the book arrived in adequate time.
