Reporter and the Law: Techniques of Covering the Courts - Lyle W. Denniston - Hardcover

The Reporter and the Law is an insider's view of how the legal system and the press work together. Lyle Denniston begins from the premise that the law and its institutions are the public's business and that the journalist's responsibility is to appreciate, understand, and evaluate the legal process and to convey that reasoned comprehension to the public. To facilitate this task, Denniston dispels the cloud of mystery that surrounds legalese, defines the jargon of both the legal and the journalistic professions, and explains how each discipline depends on the other to perform its task properly.Denniston, Lyle W. is the author of 'Reporter and the Law: Techniques of Covering the Courts - Lyle W. Denniston - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780803863415 and ISBN 0803863411.
