520			_aWriting for the Media provides guidelines for writing news and features for newspapers and magazines, and writing for the Web. Readers are introduced to the dynamics of news production for print: from editorial decision making to reporting, editing, and layout. Broadly, the writing process is divided into four stages: conception, collection of information, construction of stories, and correction or editing. In addition, the various genres of newspaper/magazine writing are dealt with in detail: basic news stories, features of various kinds, profiles, investigative and research-based stories, and special interest stories. The approach in each of these cases is to study the anatomy of a published story and follow it through from inception to publication, using first-hand reports from the writers. The book covers the basics of various areas of media such as reporting, editing, newspaper management, layout of stories, etc. in a comprehensive manner with Indian examples. With its practice-based approach and lucid style of presentation, the book would be equally useful for working media professionals.
