Book Description

1995
No matter what continent you're on, the distinct professional language of radio and television broadcasters and film and video makers remains the same. This easy-to-use reference tool is a guidebook to the professional jargon and terminology that is used to effectively communicate thoughts and ideas throughout the world.


In addition to defining terms from A-Z and explaining acronyms and abbreviations, the entries include information on professional organizations, guilds, festivals and awards. Appendices contain tables of international television and film standards,
frequencies and channels, and a list of national and international news agencies and their standard abbreviations.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'In a time of ceaseless migrations between continents and media, many will be grateful to Desi Bognar for this painstaking liguistic gazetteer' Erik Barnouw, Author of A Tower of Babel, The Golden Web, and The Image Empire (a 3-volume history of American broadcasting)





'Beginners in broadcasting and film should use this book as their bible for
the first few years of their career and as an essential reference thereafter.
If I'd had this book on my first day as a television researcher, my life
would have been made a lot easier.'
Despatches, Spring 1996
