This revised and expanded third edition of Diamant's now-classic
"The Broadcast Communications Dictionary" contains almost three
times as many entries as the original volume, providing both
beginning and experienced communications personnel with an
invaluable lexicographical tool. Hailed as highly recommended by
"Millimeter" and a must by "Television/Radio Age," "The Broadcast
Communications Dictionary" is a unique guide to the technical,
slang, and commonly-used words that broadcast communicators and
engineers use in English-speaking countries everywhere.
Here--completely cross-referenced to British terminology--are more
than 5,000 terms currently in use in all areas of radio and
television programing and production; network and station
operations; broadcast equipment and engineering; audio and video
tape recording; performing talent; agency and client advertising
procedures; media usage; research; defense, government, trade, and
allied groups.
Among the entries new to the third edition are several hundred
items generated by the development of computerization and satellite
technology and a host of fresh definitions spawned by the
accelerating expansion of cable television. As in previous
editions, all entries are in alphabetical order. Extensive
cross-referencing offers additional information where appropriate.
A brief up-to-date bibliography lists more detailed technical
reference works in individual fields. Logically organized, easy to
use, and now extensively revised and expanded, "The Broadcast
Communications Dictionary" underlines the complex
interrelationships among all spheres of contemporary communications
activity. It will be an indispensable resource for broadcasting and
communications students, as well as for those employed in
production and broadcasting facilities nationwide.
