Feeding the Beast by Tim Gordon
In your hands is the harvest of fifty years experience in local TV news. Throughout the book, we talk about stories, how to do them and what to avoid. We discuss the new direction of local TV news and the new economics of big media corporations. Together they are creating an undertow sweeping away longer format stories, the public education function local TV news once provided and a lot of risk taking in the stories we cover. What remains is a news landscape dominated by stories that generate ratings, can be turned quickly and provocatively teased. We dedicate this book to our colleagues wherever they are. There's a lot to be learned in common experience. We offer ours here, good and bad. Journalism students interested in the workaday world of TV reporters and photojournalists will find a kind of internship here and more than a few tips for successful class projects. With a sense of humor and journalist's search for the truth, we cast an unflinching eye on our profession. So, if you don't mind getting your hands dirty pulling cable, and can handle a little feedback in your ear, please turn this book over.| SKU | Unavailable |
