Reading newspapers has its distinct advantages as not all the newspapers carry the same news. Some newspapers almost everyday carry exclusive news items and very often, sticking to one newspaper doesn't keep you abreast of all the news. Moreover, every newspaper has its policy and within that framework or policy, it tries to present before the readers it views on a particular problem in the society and policies of the government. As the editorial is the heart of the newspaper, in editorial the newspaper presents its views and fulfills its duty of guiding the readers on a given situation. So it is always desirable to be in touch with the diverse stream of views on a particular issue. Reading only one newspaper more often could be like looking at the one side of the coin. Moreover, for the students pursuing careers in journalism, reading newspaper is more important than reading the course books. This way, they can analyze the different styles or reporting and news analysis by the different newspapers. Although each and every word used in the newspaper cannot be identified but these selected words are tested time and again to ensure whether they regularly appear in the newspapers. In this book an attempt is made to present before the readers such words/phrases/proverbs as are used frequently in the newspapers and their usages are explained in simple language. An acquaintance with these words would enable them to have command over English language and would be able to get maximum out of the storehouse of the Information-Newspapers.

It is just by chance that this book has come within the reach of the public. Otherwise the true journalist is interested in anything rather than himself. Neither his temperament nor his training encourages elf-analysis. The high pressure of newspaper production does not permit of musings as to how the innumerable decisions of the day are taken. It was therefore, a happy notion to induce three-and-twenty experts contemplatively to turn their minds to their own ways of work, and for once to talk about their occupation and themselves. The present book is thus or collection of a series of lectures on the technique of modern journalism delivered by some great masters of the craft under the auspices of the Institute of Journalists. Naturally, the lectures make the best of reading. None of the lectures could have been observe or boring if they had tried. They have however, done much more than entertain alert and understanding audiences. Between them they have produced as shrewd practical and authoritative a treatise upon journalism as has yet came from the Press. These frank and illuminating chats will be invaluable. The ripe fruits of experience have been neatly and attractively packed between the covers. There is many a wise saw of the kind to which men looking back upon their careers so often attribute a life's success. The tyro will find himself at case in as an inspiring a company as the calling of his ambition has to offer. The book also casts a wider net. The newspaper reader, who takes it up and, as he will find he must, finishes it, will wake up next morning to discover a new interest in his journal. Behind the serried barriers of print, he will be conscious of anxious and striving brains. He will be able at least to guess the dimensions of the problems others are facing on his behalf. He will find himself armed with fresh standards by which to judge of Press accomplishments. Since men and women delivered these series of lectures with a mission of dedication to journalism, it is possible to discern at every point a high conception of fidelity in service, a pride of craftsmanship and idealism which ever outstrips achievement. So long as these prevail, the Press needs fear not rival to itself.
