Teaching journalistic writing

William Zinsser is the author of On Writing Well, one of my favorite books about nonfiction writing. He's a new teacher at my alma mater, the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. What I wanna know is, how come he didn't teach when I was there? Not fair!

Read the alumni newsletter here announcing it. Warning, it's a pdf document.

Another tidbit I gleaned from the newsletter is that James B. Stewart is still working on Disneywar. (I've written about this book previously here.) Stewart teaches at Columbia, too, and in fairness I will add that he did teach then when I was a student, lo these many moons ago (1999, anyway).

Is anyone waiting for this book with more bated breath than me?
