Booklist - 11/01/2024 Holzer, a reporter for the Sacramento Bee, provides a lively and informative guide for aspiring young reporters on writing as a professional correspondent. Chapters are devoted to journalists in the fields of news reporting, sports, features, opinion, and review writing and describe the kinds of stories they focus on. For example, Holzer says that although opinion writing differs from news reporting—opinion writing usually includes a “call to action”—opinion pieces must be “rooted in truth and backed by facts.” Tips are provided on interviewing and taking notes, and practice assignments are found throughout for aspiring young journalists to complete, including instructions for a Q&A piece and movie reviews. Other chapters cover news literacy and noted journalists from history, including Ida B. Wells and Nellie Bly. TIME for Kids official kid reports are also profiled, apt for this iteration of the TIME for Kids series. Throughout, readers will find engaging sidebars, illustrations, and photographs, along with a bibliography. This guide provides invaluable information and practical examples for aspiring young journalists. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
