Editorial Reviews
Review
"The Broadcast News text has always been my top choice because of the numerous examples of 'Weak' vs. 'Better.' I have also used the practice assignments which I like because everyone is then working on the same story so it makes for a better discussion … It's just a good way to get started with basic broadcast writing."
"Compared to some of the other broadcast textbooks I have come across, I find Stephen's Section I on 'Writing' is quite thorough and well presented." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's OK,
By Jessica "Jessica Newhouse Grad" (Jacksonville, FL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Broadcast News (with InfoTrac) (Wadsworth Series in Broadcast and Production) (Paperback)
This book is good for people who know absolutely nothing about broadcast news. Some of the examples seem a little obvious, and the structure of the book isn't the easiest to get through. Some people in my class said they just skimmed it and didn't need to read too carefully to get the main points. Overall, it does not seem to be worth the crazy price.

Pointless book,
This review is from: Broadcast News (with InfoTrac) (Wadsworth Series in Broadcast and Production) (Paperback)
I'm not sure why anyone requires this book. I never opened it and aced all the quizzes on it. It's such common sense!
Don't buy it unless you have a learning disability, or have never, ever, watched a news program.
