520			_aThis book is meant for journalism students and others who wish to learn more about the current practice of day-to-day journalism - and also day-to-day governing - in the Philippines. It is a practical guide that goes into the nitty-gritty of what the President of the Republic can do, how a law is made and how the criminal justice system is supposed to operate. It lays down the rules as they are written in the books, but is also gets real, by describing how the rules are bent, mangled, ignored in courtrooms, jails, event the august halls of Congress. It shows how an alert and enterprising reporter can write original stories simply by having her rulebook in hand and keeping her eyes open. It points out what types of stories are often missed because they are too complex to write given deadline pressures, or simply because reporters had no idea that they existed.
