My favorite source (so far) is the book titled Making Journalists. It is my favorite because, I think that so far it is the best source for the subculture that I want to do my paper on. I have not read much of the book yet, but from looking through it briefly, I have gotten a basic idea of what it is about. The book touches upon some of the things that I believe I really need for my paper, such as what journalism is (in different societies from China to here in the United States), and what a journalist is (and what makes a journalist).
On the other hand, I am not sure that the book will give me all the information I want. For example, I wanted to know what makes people want to become newspaper journalists. I also want to know what the goals of newspaper journalists are. Are there any things that journalists (at least the majority) aim for when they begin writing? Like special awards, or writing the “big” news story.

Good, I have lots of news paper journalist friends, let me know if you want a source to interview.
Thats pretty awesome that you picked newspaper journalist as your topic to do research on. I bet you'll find some good stuff on it. Seems as if they lead pretty cool lives, like investigating stuff and what not.
