Upi Stylebook and Guide to Newswriting

UPI has been producing stylebooks for more than half a century. Over the years, hundreds of their editors and reporters -- including Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Howard K. Smith, Eric Sevareid, Harrison Salisbury, Charles Collingwood, Merriman Smith and Helen Thomas -- have contributed revisions as they perfected the craft of writing news "for the ear." In this fourth edition professional writers and students will find not only the latest computer and Internet terms in the complete A to Z style guide, but also an inside look at how experienced UPI reporters and photographers do their jobs -- from sports to the White House.
