This book examines the relationship between the White House, in the person of its press secretary, and the press corps through a linguistic analysis of the language used by both sides. A corpus was compiled of around fifty press briefings from the late Clinton years. A wide range of topics are discussed from the Kosovo crisis to the Clinton-Lewinsky affair. This work is highly original in demonstrating how concordance technology and the detailed linguistic evidence available in corpora can be used to study discourse features of text and the communicative strategies of speakers. It will be of vital interest to all linguists interested in corpus-based linguistics and pragmatics, as well as sociolinguists and students and scholars of communications, politics and the media.
Written by a veteran Associated Press sports writer, this handbook arms aspiring and working sports reporters, broadcasters, and photographers with exactly what they need to know to make it to the top in the glamorous and exciting world of sports journalism. With the help of dozens of fascinating and instructive quotes and war stories, contributed by heavy hitters like Dave Goldberg, Jim Litke, Alan Robinson, Joan Ryan, and other top AP sports reporters, the book tutors readers in the core techniques and methodology of sports writing, while at the same time exploring the important professional aspects of the business: how to get started and make a name for yourself; local, national, and feature writing; how the Internet is changing the face of sports writing; and where the business is headed over the next decade.

Good Press: An Insider's Guide to Publicizing Business and Community News
From a scribbled announcement submitted on the flap of a frozen
dinner entree to a faxed message from God’s self-proclaimed humble
prophet Tex, Richard V. Tuttell has seen it all during his 20-year
career as a community newspaperman. In Good Press, he shares his
insights and experiences to put readers behind the editor’s desk and
improve their chances of having news releases printed or broadcast.
Tuttell points out where the majority of submissions fail to come up to
publication standards and answers the only two questions newspaper
editors are ever asked—Why didn’t you put that in the paper? Why did
you put that in the paper? Sample press release forms are included.
