Broadcast Journalism ─ Techniques of Radio and Television News

This newest edition of Broadcast Journalism continues its long tradition of covering the basics of broadcasting from gathering news sources, interviewing, putting together a programme, news writing, reporting, editing, working in the studio, conducting live reports, and more. Convergence and the use of digital media in journalism continues to be the focus, and the authors have brought the material further up to date with the integration of social media, uses of mobile technology, the emergence of user-generated content, and updated examples, illustrations, and case studies throughout.

• Covers all aspects of broadcast journalism, beginning with basic principles about having a career in this field, general journalism basics and basic broadcast skills, and continuing with in-depth practical aspects of radio and television news.
• The chapters on radio cover everything from story treatment to recording, to editing, and working in a studio, where other texts focus mostly on writing for radio.
• Lecture slides and a test bank have been added to this edition for the first time, providing additional instructor support. End-of-chapter exercises and a companion website with links to further resources have also been added.
