Modern Newspaper Practice is widely
used on journalism and media-related
courses, including degrees and those run by
newspaper companies and the National
Council for the Training of Journalists, and
on the many training schemes abroad that
look to British practice. For students taking a
degree in media or communication studies,
or embarking on public relations or adver-
tising courses, it is the essential primer on
the workings of the press.
An Appendix offers guidance on courses
and training schemes for students and
would-be journalists.
