Television News: A Handbook for Reporting, Writing, Shooting, Editing and Producing

Television News can be used in stand-alone broadcast courses or across multiple specialized courses, thus providing consistency and a lower cost for students. Whether students plan to work in more traditional newsroom roles or operate as a one-man-band, this book will prepare them for creating television news that is ready for the air or for the Internet.

Features of the third edition include a new producing chapter, which introduces students to what it takes to keep a news room running successfully; updated examples that reflect and address the changing world of broadcast news (with topics such as the DTV transfer, social networking and how to shoot a standup when it s just the reporter and the camera); and a DVD/video available to adopters for classroom use, demonstrating principles of shooting and editing. Other ancillaries include an instructor's manual and PowerPoint presentation.
