Description
The first and most widely used handbook in broadcast news, this book clearly and concisely outlines the rules of broadcast news writing, grammar, style, and usage. Similar in format to the AP Stylebook, the Broadcast News Writing Stylebook is a useful resource for both beginning and advanced writers of broadcast news. With chapter-by-chapter coverage of story types, from business stories to crime and legal reporting, government, health, the environment, weather, and sports, the Broadcast News Writing Stylebook lays out the particular demands of composition, form, style, and usage in all the diverse areas of broadcast news. Completely updated, with expanded explanations of the writing process, more examples of both problems and solutions, and greatly expanded discussion and explanation of putting together stories and the use of bites and sounds, the book is a complete reference text for both aspiring and experienced journalists.
