Mathewson’s book, based on Northwestern University’s highly successful business journalism program, guides students in the use of data, documents and sophisticated expert sources. With A Quick Guide to Writing Business Stories as their resource, students will be able to write challenging stories with clarity and speed, greatly enhancing the journalist’s ability to tackle stories on other complex topics, in any medium.
