Raiding Moonshiners, Marching with Martin, and Buying Elvis' Ring: A veteran reporter gives an inside view of covering these and other stories- The ... career that lasted more than 40 years

The title tells some -- but certainly not all -- of the highs and lows in Jack Martin's long career as a news reporter. Aside from detailing encounters with everyone from the nefarious, on the police beat, to the noble, on the civil rights and community service beats, the book reveals the inside workings of the news business. As such, it should prove a helpful and informative guide not only for journalism students, but anyone interested in just how a story gets covered and its journey from notepad to printing press.
