[QUOTE=Wamik;888514]Is there any single book which at least covers the whole paper of 2015??[/QUOTE]

No brother, there is not any single book that covers the whole paper of 2015. Reason for this is the addition of current affairs in journalism, or more appropriately, the addition of applied journalism can be seen in this paper. So stay in touch with current news, watch meaningful talk shows, and read opinions of different newspapers.
