Publishers Weekly

"Publishing veteran Leonard Mogel provides young journalists with a helpful resource in The Newspaper. Mogel leaves no stone unturned-in 21 exhaustive chapters, he covers j-school, newspaper production, newspaper jobs, professional organizations, and much more."

The Newspaper is a 'must' title for any who would make it in the newspaper business: it packs in colorful pages of detail on newspaper jobs ranging from copy editor and critic to stringers and editorial cartoonists and reports. Students and professionals receive a range of information, from assessments of job opportunities at large newspaper companies and the pros and cons of smaller operations to career tips, how to fill a position, and salaries of all newspaper workers. Very highly recommended.
