5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for the "live" reporter!, August 15, 2003
By 
Mark McKenna (New York City, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thirty Seconds to Air: A Field Reporter's Guide to Live Television Reporting (Paperback)
In all my years in the profession and as an educator, I have found few books as useful and relevant as this one. Mr. Arya is among the top live reporters in the country. He has earned some of the top honors in all of journalism. If you want to learn how to report live, buy it. If you want to get better at live, buy it. There is no other book like it! It is an easy read that hits every nail right on the head.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, March 19, 2000
This review is from: Thirty Seconds to Air: A Field Reporter's Guide to Live Television Reporting (Paperback)
This is a great resource for aspiring reporters and for those who have been in the business for just a couplle of years. Mr. Arya presents a straight forward - honest look at what it takes to be a good live reporter in a very difficult field. The tips are very valuable to students and those just starting out in this field. They are also good to those who are working in live television but who are uncomfortable with the live presentation. This is a nice resource for all live reporters - a reminder of what it takes to make it work successfully.
