CBC Writing Guide Hits Mark, June 20, 2010
Review By:Michael Haller

The 'Writing for CBC Television' guide provides one of the ablest, practical and valuable tools for the journalist, broadcaster, PJ, web-ster, blogger or anyone else who may lay claim to the title writer or editor. I have adapted this text to train students and newly assigned journalists. It is a superb resource that I keep at hand for ready reference. It is not an overstatement to say that as a writer, I've found it to have similar properties to that of a compass - it will always draw you back to your true north. - Prof Mike Haller, Kabul, Afghanistan
