Reviews for Inside Story: How the News Works

With eye-catching, friendly and engaging illustrations and infographics by Terri Po, this approachable guide is the perfect resource to help children navigate the everchanging world of news and really get the inside story. -- Ciara Fanning * Inis Magazine * ITN and the book's author Jane Marlow bring a huge level of expertise to this book which is bursting with informative detail - readers of all ages will enjoy learning about different aspects of news reporting, from gathering sources to vision mixing. At the same time, the book is particularly successful in finding ways of appealing to young readers. The tone is friendly and engaging, and key terms are defined (both in the text and the glossary at the end). Marlow chooses straightforward - and often amusing - examples of news stories to illustrate her points, and includes a number of 'assignments' to help readers detect bias or fake news. -- Stephen Dilley * Just Imagine * This will be an invaluable book for any young people interested in journalism. Whilst the media literacy sections greatly further its readership appeal, making this an excellent teaching resource for preparing young people to be informed citizens. -- Amy McKay * LoveReading4Kids *
