ESRI Press has a new book out, a tutorial for ArcView 9 by friends-of-the-IAJ Wilpen Gorr and Kristen S. Kurland at Carnegie Mellon University. What's of special interest to journalists is the example projects, one "creating a voting district map for a local election" and another "comparing county financial information in a map."  These, and more, would be perfect fits in a journo's tool box.  Don't be put off by the list price of $70; Amazon has it marked down to $45.
