This fantastic DVD contains numerous examples of various editing ideas and an array of complete demonstrations of filming techniques practical tools that will actually help you in the real-world of broadcast journalism! This is the 'must have' book anyone studying college, university and independent training courses in broadcast journalism at all levels; and for professionals and trainees in broadcast, print and other media looking to develop their skills. It is also ideal for those viewing broadcast journalism in the wider context of media studies.

'THE must-have basic text for generations of up-and-coming broadcast journalistsSarah Rowlands and Gary Hudson have tied it much more tightly to the actual delivery of training as well as getting very close to real life in radio and TV newsrooms. And, crucially, it places everything in the context of the continuing internet revolution taking place in our industry.

It's bang up-to-date but tackles the problem of keeping up-to-date, when so much is changing, so fast, by also offering a companion website, updating developments as they happen. The "Newsdays" section, analysing the way that different radio and TV outlets produce their bulletins, is fascinating. And finally, the accompanying (free) DVD demonstrating filming and editing techniques is a brilliant idea.'
