If you find media at all levels fascinating, you'll enjoy Tales from the Newsrooms: An Offbeat Look, by Paul Burton. Displaying his trademark feistiness, Paul shares many newsroom stories from his years as an editor and reporter in the U.S. Northeast at the local, regional and international levels. He shares examples of bad writing he has encountered, employees of all kinds and how he has handled them, and some of the zaniest readers, sources and other people imaginable. Non-journalists will also appreciate Paul's accounts of personnel moves. Paul shares memories of his interviews with major newsmakers, and his dealings with editors and writers. He recalls his less brilliant moments, too. After reading Tales from the Newsrooms: An Offbeat Look, you'll see journalism in a completely different light.
