Reddit mentions of Inside Reporting

Inside Reporting was a book I found really useful in some of my intro classes. I highly recommend it.

Is this an introductory course or is it a second-level writing course?

If it's an introductory course, I almost always use Harrower's "Inside Reporting."

If it's a second-level course, I've recently made the switch to Vince Filak's "News Reporting and Writing: Foundations for a Digital Age."

I'm a high school journalism teacher, so in addition to those offered up before I'll suggest:

1. Elements of Journalism A classic.
   
2. Inside Reporting This HS/college textbook lays out the basics in a visually interesting format. Try to find an older edition(they're way cheaper).
   
3. AP Stylebook If you want to be taken seriously as a professional, your writing needs to look professional. For all its detractors, the AP Stylebook is still the standard for almost every newsroom.
