Abstract
This book seeks to fill a number of functions as a practical text for broadcast journalism students. Focusing on news and touching on documentaries, it offers advice on research and writing, interviewing and listening, newscast structuring and reading, camera angles and lighting, participation in news conferences and political campaigns, and effective video story-telling. Beyond these skills, the authors consider some of the ethical and legal aspects of gathering and reporting the news. Partly structured in workbook format, a number of useful exercises are provided in the back of the volume. The style of writing is personal, casual, and anecdotal; the layout of the book includes wide margins with plentiful bold print headings to aid quick access to the information on "tape dubbing and editing," or "performing on camera."
