I know that when I went in for my internship at an alternative publication, my editor told me to buy The Art and Craft of Feature Writing, by William Blundell. I'm still working on reading it, but it's been rather helpful and has some great tips about organization, leads, wordcraft, etc, as well as giving ideas new energy or looking at done to death topics from new perspectives.
Hope that helps!
I've been a professional journalist for 20 years, half of it as a freelancer. I've found few books helpful; I've learned a lot more from personal mentoring and participation in a private e-mail list for journalists.
The exception is The Art and Craft of Feature Writing: Based on The Wall Street Journal Guide -- which helped me learn the difference between a topic and a story. One of my bosses (and mentors) handed it to me shortly after I moved from Writer to Editor, and I've been grateful ever since.
"The Art and Craft of Feature Writing: Based on The Wall Street Journal Guide" book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452261589 not aff link) is surprisingly good, I'm reading it just now.
While the book is primarily targeted towards journalists writing features, there is also a good explanation about how to build a story, which elements should be there, or what makes the story (un)interesting.
Pitch, pitch and pitch.
gekogekogeko just posted some excellent examples of the art
Other than that I have only seen one book that I consider worth reading: William E. Blundell - The Art and Craft of Feature Writing: Based on the Wall Street Journal Guide.
Combine the two and have patience.
