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 *
