Lots of information:
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:
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:
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.
Good if you have a bunch of smart kids:
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.
