Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a great introduction to business writing, and served as a nice refresher for me. Prof. Mark Tatge, a longtime investigative reporter, chose some of The New York Times' best business stories of recent years -- which themselves teach you a lot about the powerful corporate world -- and wove them with his own clear-headed insights about how business journalism works.
His interviews with reporters and columnists are the cherry on top. I especially liked Joe Nocera's comment that business captured his imagination in a way that politics never did.
The result is an important guide to writing lively, succinct stories about the people and companies that drive our economy. Along the way, you learn about the dark side of corporate mergers from Gretchen Morgenson, poison in our cough syrup from Walt Bogdanich and Jake Hooker, and not to worry so much about outsourcing from Eduardo Porter.
