Outstanding Journalists Series

People around the world depend on journalists to report the news accurately and objectively every day. Many journalists deliver stories from the field as the news is happening. Some even risk their own lives to report from dangerous places, such as natural disasters or war zones. Other journalists present the news from anchor desks on morning shows, nightly newscasts, or their own programs. With striking color photographs, a fun Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series will engage readers looking to learn about journalists—and perhaps even inspire young people to consider the profession of journalism one day themselves.
