"Any journalism or reporting that takes place over the broadcast mediums, i.e. radio and television, is known as broadcast journalism. Broadcast journalism makes use of electronic devices for disseminating news across the globe. Broadcast journalism is the field of news and journals which are broadcast by electronic methods instead of the older methods, such as printed newspapers and posters. It works on radio (via air, cable, and Internet), television (via air, cable, and Internet) and the World Wide Web. Such media disperse pictures (static and moving), visual text and sounds. Broadcast articles can be written as "packages”", “readers", “voice-overs”(VO) and “sound on tape” (SOT). This comprehensive book is an essential text on the production of news broadcasting and the practical skills needed. Broadcast journalism and communications students looking for an in-depth guide to the industry will find this book useful." -- Back cover
