The Word Weavers: Newshounds and Wordsmiths
Aitchison, Jean (University of Oxford)
A revealing insight into journalism, showing news writers to be skilled 'word-weavers' whose work should in no way be regarded as inferior to that of literary writers. Tracing the profession's history, it shows how journalism originated from an age-old oral tradition. Illustrated with a range of historical and modern news articles.
