Author Gormly draws on his extensive background as a television
journalist to explain how real newsrooms work. The text reviews
basic grammar, introduces students to industry-specific terminology
and the particular rules for TV newswriting, appraises the basics
of a television news story, and reveals how television writing
differs from writing for other media. The core of the book develops
various story formats, and gives step-by-step instruction on how to
transform basic information into properly scripted, solid
stories.
Included in this edition are the latest in script formatting; an
in-depth look at new writing styles; interviews with and
observations of working journalists from major television markets;
an expanded chapter detailing the process of producing a television
newscast; and up-to-date information about applying for jobs and
internships in today's television marketplace.
Newly expanded, packed with student exercises for hands-on learning, and fully illustrated with photos, line drawings, and charts, Writing and Producing Television News, Second Edition prepares students to perform from the moment they hit the newsroom.
