JOUR M02 Writing and Reporting for the Media

This required course for all journalism majors is also a great preparation for anyone who wants to enhance critical thinking and writing skills, preparing for careers in journalism as well as law, politics and many other fields. Required Texts: "Writing and Reporting for the Media," Fifth Edition, by Carole Rich, and The "Associated Press Stylebook." Both texts may be purchased at the Moorpark College Bookstore and online.

Take Heed!

"[Edna's] idea of a successful lead is one that might cause a reader who is having breakfast with his wife to 'spit out his coffee, clutch his chest, and say, "My God, Martha! Did you read this!"' When Edna went to Fort Lauderdale not long ago to talk about police reporting with some of the young reporters in the Herald's Broward County bureau, she said, 'For sanity and survival, there are three cardinal rules in the newsroom: Never trust an editor, never trust an editor, never trust an editor.'"
--Calvin Trillin's profile of legendary Miami Herald cops reporter Edna Buchanan, The New Yorker, 1986
