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.
