Advancing the Story by Debora Halpern Wenger
Beginning with the premise that broadcast journalism is an excellent starting point for multimedia storytelling, this title builds on the basics of good television reporting practices. It helps students understand the strengths of each medium, with depth, interactivity, and immediacy playing a different role as content is separated from container.
