Journalism: The Democratic Craft How does an instructor integrate journalism theory and practice in ways
that are meaningful to students? G. Stuart Adam and Roy Peter Clark
answer this question by combining relevant and engaging readings and
practical writing instruction in Journalism: The Democratic Craft. An
anthology and textbook in one, this volume enhances students' critical
thinking skills and overall understanding of their discipline. It
begins with inspirational reflections on journalism and democracy,
followed by commentary on the journalistic craft. Adam and Clark,
seasoned instructors at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies and
elsewhere, present published works from a diversity of voices--from
George Orwell, V. S. Naipaul, Susan Sontag, and John Hersey, to Seymour
Hersh, David Halberstam, and Tom Wolfe. The book's content and
organization are designed to strengthen students' practical skills. The
authors introduce and promote the development of "The Editor's
Lexicon"--terms that guide the creation of journalistic texts and
direct their repair and evaluation. A language that master editors
speak in their supervisory roles, this lexicon is also used by
reporters when they make news judgments, gather evidence, compose
stories, and interpret events. Each section features a concluding study
guide and exercises that have been class-tested by the authors. These
features provide for the effective use of the book by educators and
students alike. Journalism: The Democratic Craft narrows the gap
between the classroom and the profession, providing an all-in-one
solution to the long lists of required books for advanced news writing
and reporting courses.
