Media Writer's Handbook: A Guide to Common Writing and Editing Problems
★★★☆ for the introduction. On its own it would have made an interesting article, setting out a mildly humorous, yet fairly insightful, taxonomy of the sorts of stories mass media runs in the absence of any real news ("Media Fearmongering", "Unpaid Placement Masquerading as Actual Article", "Headline Contradicted by Actual Article", "Equal Time for Nutjobs", "The Out-of-Context Celebrity Comment", "Seasonal Articles", "Media Fatique", "Lesser Media Space Fillers").
The rest of the book, however, gets barely a single star. The examples of each type of story often aren't particularly interesting or enlightening (and the author can't seem to decide whether they should be funny or not), and the inclusion of seemingly random comments from Fark users about each story is so far beyond needless than even quickly skipping over them all without reading them still made me feel more stupid by association.
