The Universal Journalist
The Universal Journalist | David Randall
2 posts | 1 reading
Irrespective of language or culture, good journalists share a common commitment to the search for truth, often in far from ideal circumstances. With this assertion, David Randall emphasises that good journalism isn't just about universal objectives: it must also involve the acquisition of a range of skills that will empower journalists to operate in an industry where ownership, technology and information is constantly changing. This acclaimed handbook challenges old attitudes, procedures and techniques of journalism where they are seen as cynical and sloppy. This fully updated edition includes new sections on handling numbers and statistics, computer assisted reporting and writing for the Web, as well as an extensively revised chapter on what makes a good reporter, and a new section on sources. Now more than ever this handbook is an invaluable guide to the 'universals' of good journalistic practice for professional and trainee journalists worldwide.

I hunted down this Facebook post from a couple years back... this journal isn't quite as visually epic as my two-volume scrapbook/journal from my study abroad semester in Italy, but I do believe this one went to more countries. (And I didn't feel like rummaging through boxes to find and snap a picture of the Italy journals!)

? They need to add "heavily motivated by free food" and "survive off the rush of adrenaline that comes from procrastinating until the last minute before a deadline" to this and that's a journalist in a nutshell.
