The Poynter Institute once again brings you the year's best newswriting and community service photojournalism, showcasing the winners and finalists of the American Society of Newspaper Editors annual competition. The perfect reader for aspiring journalists, Best Newspaper Writing, 2006-2007 Edition, offers a wide array of exemplary writing and photojournalism, providing quality models students can analyze and emulate.

In addition to the interviews, assignments, and x-ray readings you have come to expect from this trusted collection, Poynter faculty have added two new features to this annual edition. In "Conversations about Convergence," Poynter faculty explores the collaborative nature of multimedia writing and reporting through interviews with online editors and photojournalists. And to better understand the challenges of reporting a natural disaster of the magnitude of Katrina, a dedicated section on hurricane coverage--from deadline reporting to column and editorial writing--serves as a unique teaching case.
