Dyslexia and the Journalist - Battling a Silent Disability (Paperback)

For aspiring journalists, the challenges of dyslexia can seem insurmountable, especially in the face of an educational system that is ill-equipped to help. Many with dyslexia and related learning and attention deficit disorders also struggle with low self-esteem and emotional health, leading to the assumption that they cannot succeed, especially in a profession dominated by reading and writing. This book profiles famous broadcast journalists who overcame the long-overlooked, often misdiagnosed learning disability, dyslexia, to succeed at the highest level. Among them are Emmy Award winners, including CNN's Anderson Cooper and Robyn Curnow, NBC's Richard Engel, and ABC's Byron Pitts. For students and practicing journalists, it is a resource to learn more about dyslexia and how best to approach covering "the invisible disability." Each of the journalists profiled offer advice into the best practices in researching, interviewing, writing, and presenting issues related to dyslexia.
