Reflections on a life of controversial reporting
Article Abstract:
'Secrets: A Writer in the Cold War' is an autobiography of 'The New Yorker' magazine investigative reporter Paul Brodeur. The memoir narrates Brodeur's polemical world view, including his idea that profit-greedy corporations, the defense-oriented government and the insurance industry are collaborating against citizens and the environment. Brodeur, who has done sensitive defense-related work for the government, has been subjected to several court actions due to his journalistic attacks on government and private enterprises.

Details and meanings: how writers can teach us how to change our stories from merely organized to memorable
Article Abstract:
Reporters often write dull or boring pieces. Although these pieces are well-organized, their style leaves much to be desired. Editors are commenting on the need to write compelling pieces so that the ordinary reader would find time to go through such pieces. A series of essays written by journalists Walt Harrington and Madeleine Blais offers suggestions on how reporters can improve their writing style to make their works more interesting for the ordinary reader.
