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.</p>
