Tom Soule
reviewed Broadcast News and Writing Stylebook on November 18, 2012 Broadcast News and Writing Stylebook
Rolling Stone reporters produced two epochal books documenting the 1972 presidential campaign: Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" and Tim Crouse's "Boys on the Bus." I read this book while I was a totally green reporter -- as Crouse was in 1972 -- covering the 2008 McCain campaign and found myself relating completely. While it was a great read, it was a bit discouraging to find that Crouse already had every insight I was coming up with, precluding the need for me to write about my experience in-depth. A quintessential campaign book focused on the people telling the stories -- the hard-drinking, road warrior reporters -- more than the candidates. Definitely worth a read, if you're into that sort of thing.
