Drawing on the insights and experiences of reporters, anchors,
producers, assignment editors, web journalists, graphic artists,
and newsroom executives from across the country, Writing and
Producing Television News: From Newsroom to Air is not merely a
production manual, but rather a guide to newsroom writing and
producing. The book immerses students in the everyday challenges
that face journalists in professional television newsrooms, largely
through the device of a fictional town called Lakedale, where many
of the examples and exercises are set.
From the very beginning of the book students are thrust into the
roles of decision makers, learning about the many factors that will
enable them to function as producers and reporters. Functioning as
both a text- and a workbook, it integrates dozens of original
examples, exercises, and assignments covering a broad spectrum of
material, from breaking news to features. The book also introduces
a wide range of story formats, from simple anchor readers and
voiceovers to such complex structures as sound-bite stories and
news packages. In addition to scriptwriting, the exercises and
assignments cover such ancillary areas as graphics, headlines,
teases, newscast organization, live reporting, web-based
journalism, and anchoring, as well as news judgments and ethical
decision making.
Writing and Producing Television News is an ideal text for
undergraduate courses in broadcast journalism.
