Product Description
"The Reporter's Notebook" is meant to be the number one writing tool for our youngest journalists, students in grades third through eighth. It's a no-nonsense way for students to organize their deadlines, plan out their interviews, keep track of schedules, and take notes during interviews. The first third of the book contains forms and checklists and helpful hints. This "is" a reporter's notebook, which means plenty of lined pages for organizing thoughts, taking notes, and writing stories. The young user will find encouraging advice from professional writers throughout these lined pages including hints from Frank DeFord, Abigail Van Burn, Leonard Maltin, Art Buchwald, Clifton Daniel, Rex Reed, Dave Barry, John Stossel, Roger Ebert, Connie Chung, Daniel Schorr, and others. ...

Need to buy new ones each year.
This book seems to be published as a consumable, for the classroom, due to all of the blank, lined pages at the end of the book. If you do not want to use it this way, the blank pages are a waste of paper.

Helpful Tool for Journalism Club
This book has proven to be a practical guide for our journalism club. The story ideas are helpful as are the forms for keeping track of assignments, the interviewing checklist, and the editing checklist.


Journalism resources are included as are names of organizations thatcan provide more information about student journalism and writing.

I recommend this book to anyone working with young children with an interest in journalism. It will give you ideas, keep you organized, and point you to additional resources as you need them.

Good resource
I used this notebook to teach elementary students in grades three through five how to organize themselves as reporters for our school newspaper. It lends itself to easy application for a variety of audiences. As a teacher, it brought reminded me of content students need. It has been an asset to our elementary journalism class.

Poorly constructed and adds little value
I purchased this book thinking that it was an in-depth resource for journalists. It looks like something that someone pulled together on their home computer. It provides basic information that you can find in Strunk and White. Not worth the money!

Very Handy!
Although I'm not in high school and am a college student I still found this book to be very handy. I find that the pages in the book where you can write things down are very helpful so that while you are reading you can take notes and your notes will also be with the text. ... Read more
