question lang, san mabibili yung books mentioned in the article Read, read, read?
btw, this paragraph in your article is sooo true.
'Still, Maglabe says low pay doesn’t justify corruption. “Alam naman natin na maliit ang kita. Bakit ka pa nag-media? Eh di tiiisin mo kung magkano makukuha mo. Gusto mo, eh.”'
this is what i call stupid passion and i don't know how long this stupid passion can carry me. i can always shift careers and have a comfortable life but i know i'll kill myself with boredom. eh di tiisin, ginusto ko to eh. agggh.

I'm not sure about Fallaci. Luma na kasi iyon. Pero I tell you, it's a must talaga. Meron sa CMC libe. Meron rin dito sa amin sa office. Hehe.
The Newswriting Formula I think is going to be reprinted soon. Kasi what we have is an old copy of the book.
You might try and look in specialty bookstores (especially those that have many books on journalism and media like Bound and Datelines) for these books. Pag may nakita ka na kopya, bilhin mo na, wala nang tanungan pa. itago mo na at ilagay sa baul. baka may makanakaw pa niyan. hehe.

Thanks for reading my article. Sigh. We, the penniless journalists.
