 Lots of information August 21, 2008
I find this book useful, however it is missing one important item, all of the forms need to be put on a CD that accompanies the book. There is lots of good information throughout the book.
 Particularly Relevant to University Environment October 30, 2007
As project manager for a new magazine by the school of business, I find the book especially useful to set-up item completion time-lines and structure multiple tasks for better coordination with our editor in chief.

Very detailed September 26, 2007
I am using this book as a first-time school newspaper advisor. The book has printable worksheets and lots of helpful guides.
I would suggest it being used for students who are at or above grade level, or doing the activities with partners, as many of the activities are very high level.

It might be because I am teaching middle school journalism but I found the worksheets in this book to be pretty high end. Although I do recomend the book for survival I would recomend Judith Ann Isaacs books on Secondary School Journalism if you want to excell. The only problem is this other book is really hard to find.
The only book of its kind February 1, 2001

Having been a high school newspaper adviser (notice, "adviser" and not "advisor"?) for 8 years, I am like the other reviewer who wishes this book would have been available much earlier. As it is, my first year of teaching in 1993 included four preps: English 10 Honors, English 9, newspaper, and yearbook. (Anybody want to say "Year of Insanity"?) While I did survive, I struggled that year because the resources for publication advisers are very few. Starting almost from scratch and given very little in support, I ended up putting together my own bound journalism resource book, which is similar in many ways to Osborn's work. But the "Survival Guide" I bought last year is still worthwhile for me to have on hand because it has a number of "cool" sheets that can be photocopied. (Kudos for the wire spine that make turning pages and laying them on the photocopier simple!) Only those who have advised high school publications can fully appreciate the words of wisdom Osborn has because she has obviously been there, done that. Every principal should order a copy for the school's journalism teacher. I certainly plan on utilizing mine in the years to come.
