In the current information age, a reporter is a fashionable, iconic profession. All journalists strive to become one, but not everyone succeeds. The author of the book, one of the best reporters in the country, at some point introduced a “Master Class” section on his blog and, to the extent possible and willing, began to write in it his short “Considerations” about what a report is and who a reporter is. Judging by the comments, it turned out that all this is interesting to a large number of people - and not only professionals. Here is a complete collection of advice, recommendations and just thoughts from Dmitry Sokolov-Mitrich, a journalist for the Russian Reporter. This book is something like a samurai code, which the Russian Reporter magazine recognizes as a professional credo. The master class can be used as a teaching tool for aspiring journalists. And, by the way, the author was not taught this at the philology department! He himself has gone through a long, long journey of becoming a true professional who honestly and beautifully presents the truth of life in his reports. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers - from journalism students to professional reporters.
