All pages are intact Cover damaged Macmillan Company, 1945, 424 pages The Complete Reporter is designed as a general text in news writing and editing. It is complete in the sense that it combines in a single volume the basic principles of news writing and news editing and the exercises and assignment materials necessary to practice and apply these principles. It is complete in the sense that it covers the whole range of the reporter's work. It is complete in the sense that it provides all the materials necessary in a fully rounded one-year course in journalism. The complete one-year course and one-year text offer definite advantages in preparing students for the newspaper profession. There can scarcely be a better introduction to journalism than a year's practice of the reporter's whole task. The advanced studies and specialized courses of a school of journalism can be erected upon this whole foundation as effectively as they can be laid end to end or side by side with "survey" or "preview" or "historical perspective" approaches.
