Tim Holmes, Cardiff University, UK • Liz Nice, Suffolk New College, UK
Magazines are the most successful media format ever to have existed and so begins Magazine Journalism as it traces
how magazines arose from their earliest beginnings in 1665 to become the ubiquitous format we know today. This book
combats the assumptions among media academics as well as journalists that magazines somehow don't count, and
presents a compelling assessment of the development and innovation at the heart of magazine publishing.

Kevin Williams, University of Wales Swansea, UK
Mapping the institutional, political, economic, cultural, and historical context within which news is gathered across
borders, this book reveals how foreign correspondents are adapting to new global and commercial realities in how they
gather, adapt, and disseminate news. Lucid and engaging, the book expertly probes three global models of reporting –
Anglo-American, European, and the developing world – to lay bare the forces of technology, commercial constraint, and
globalization that are changing how journalism is practiced and understood.

the neW york tImeS reAder: Arts & Culture
Don McLeese, University of Iowa
Covering the expanse of arts featured in The Times, from orchestral music and museum exhibitions to video games and
hip-hop, this Reader makes no hierarchical distinction between the pop arts and the fine arts. Don McLeese explores
both critical essays and reviews (by genre) as well as profiles and trend pieces to help students sharpen their critical
instincts. How we respond to the arts reveals as much about us individually as it does about the art being evaluated.
Seasoned teacher McLeese, who has worked both as a critic covering a wide range of arts and as a magazine editor,
adeptly weaves his insightful commentary to show there are no right or wrong opinions, just stronger and weaker
arguments.

the neW york tImeS reAder: Science & Technology
S. Holly Stocking, Indiana University
Science writing poses specific challenges: Science writers must engage their audiences while also explaining unfamiliar
scientific concepts and processes. Further, they must illuminate arcane research methods while at the same time
cope with scientific ignorance and uncertainty. Stocking's volume not only tackles these challenges, but also includes
extraordinary breadth in story selection, from prize-winning narratives, profiles and explanatory pieces to accounts
of scientific meetings and new discoveries, Q&A's, traditional trend and issue stories, reviews, essays and blog posts.
These Times exemplars, together with Stocking's guide to reading stories about science and technology, are perfect for
science writers who aspire to diversify and hone their reporting and writing skills in a changing media climate. Holly
Stocking is an experienced science writer, award-winning teacher, and a fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.
