The Reporter's Notebook : Writing Tools for Student Journalists 3rd Edition Spiral-bound – December 6, 2017

It fulfills its purpose.

Small and states the obvious. Not really helpful for students.

Pages 38 to 97 -- half the book -- is just blank space for notes, which you could just as well write in a 10-cent, 70-page notebook spiral. The beginning of the book is mostly made up of pages with simple checklists and address forms, with some bulletted questions here and there.

This book seems to be published as a consumable, for the classroom, due to all of the blank, lined pages at the end of the book. If you do not want to use it this way, the blank pages are a waste of paper.

I used this notebook to teach elementary students in grades three through five how to organize themselves as reporters for our school newspaper. It lends itself to easy application for a variety of audiences. As a teacher, it brought reminded me of content students need. It has been an asset to our elementary journalism class.

Although I'm not in high school and am a college student I still found this book to be very handy. I find that the pages in the book where you can write things down are very helpful so that while you are reading you can take notes and your notes will also be with the text.

The "Reporter's notebook" is a great tool to provide to students planning on writing and publishing a newspaper. The notebook provides several tips and ideas for young writers in a well organized format. There are also several pages for students to use for note taking.

Mark Levin's notebook for journalism students proves itself an invaluable tool in journalism and media courses. Aside from pages of information to record sources, story ideas, and more, hints and tips are scattered throughout the spiral bound book. This book is a must for any journalism student, or anyone simply interested in writing news stories.
