Writing from his own experience, Lauterer (journalism, Pennsylvania State University) presents a field guide to small-city journalism, describing the advantages and difficulties of working for a hometown paper. He describes the freedom, recognition, and potential that comes with writing for newspapers with a circulation under 50,000. Chapters focus on the state of community journalism, the difference between big-city and small-city papers, journalistic standards, technological innovations, the relationship with the community, ethics, business sense, and the elements of a daily paper. He specifically discusses the uses of features, editorials, interviews, graphics, photographs, sports reporting, and the "Lifestyle" page. Annotation c.
