Tatge, Ohio University It is not just the depth of experience of The Times reporters that makes its business coverage unique, rather it is how Times stories are framed as they're written. Mark Tatge's volume looks at how these reporters balance compelling analysis and historical perspective, showing students specific ways to practice the craft of business writing. Delving into the fundamentals of covering the beat, the book is divided into two sections—one on the economy (inflation, jobs, wagers, debt and taxes) and another on business (Wall Street, mergers, profiles and investigative reporting). Tatge, having spent years at such publications as Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, provides a template for how to decipher complex terminology and cut through business babble, to discover the drama and excitement of how money is made, spent, and lost.

Reel, Winthrop University Media ethics at Work: true stories from Young professionals helps students assemble a tool kit for dealing with ethical issues on the job. At the heart of the book are 23 cases, true stories of problems encountered by young professionals working in news, advertising and public relations. Each story is presented as a narrative so readers can ponder: "What would I do if this happened to me?" Introductory material provides a foundation in philosophical theory and moral reasoning, so by the time they've finished the book, students will feel prepared with an array of theoretical and practical approaches that will equip them with strategies for thinking on their feet. Other ethics books focus on the big-name, high-level cases that make news—and hurt media credibility. Media ethics at Work takes a fresh, new approach, aiming to build integrity in a time of media change through the small and large ethical decisions that entry- level media professionals make every day.
