Product Description

Peter Cole, Professor of Journalism at the University of Sheffield
'Entertaining, amusing, even inspirational. Above all, what every good reporter aims to deliver, a great read.' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Product Description
David Randall is Assistant Editor of the "Independent on Sunday". His previous Pluto book "The Universal Journalist" is the world's most widely used textbook on journalism (over 12,000 copies sold). This is the first book ever to provide a list of the top 13 reporters of all time. A list was compiled by experts in the field - top editors, writers and journalists worldwide. It gives an overview of the history of news reporting from the invention of printing to the internet. Who are the greatest reporters in history? This unique book is the first to try and answer this question. Author David Randall searched nearly two centuries of newspapers and magazines, consulted editors and journalism experts worldwide, and the result is "The Great Reporters" - 13 in-depth profiles of the best journalists who ever lived. They include nine Americans and four Britons, ten men and three women, whose lives were full of adventure, wit, and the considerable ingenuity required to bring the story home. Among chapters are those on the reporter who: booked himself onto a ship likely to be sunk by the Germans so he could report its torpedoing; she was called out to a multiple shooting, who interviewed 50 witnesses, went back to the office, and wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning story of 4,000 words in two and a half hours and was deemed useless by her teacher but who went on to become the greatest crime reporter in history; she feigned madness to get herself locked up in an asylum so she could expose its terrible conditions. Each profile tells of the reporter's life and his or her major stories, how they were obtained, and their impact. Packed with anecdotes and inspiring accounts, the book quotes extensively from each reporter's work. It also includes an essay on the history of reporting, charting the technologies, economics, and attitudes that made it the way it is - from the invention of the telegraph to the Internet.
