    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Now in its ninth edition, the industry-leading Broadcast News Writing, Reporting, and Producing provides an essential introduction to broadcast journalism in the modern newsroom.


    Across five parts, this book covers every aspect of the “three pillars” of broadcast news—writing, reporting, and producing—in addition to considering news acquisition and the realities of transitioning into professional newsrooms. Drawing on insider perspectives and best-practice examples, the authors meld real-world advice with essential theory, from ethical considerations to key terms and strategies. This ninth edition features expanded coverage of new and social media, Artificial Intelligence, mis- and disinformation, and issues around diversity and inclusion. New sections on social media apps and the software required for producing newscasts are also introduced.


    Broadcast News Writing, Reporting, and Producing is key reading for undergraduate students in journalism writing, producing, newsgathering, and multimedia courses. Accompanying e-resources for students and instructors feature updated video tutorials, PowerPoints, quizzes, and a sample syllabus.



    Praise for previous edition


    "Broadcast News Writing, Reporting, and Producing complements our practical hands-on approach for new and aspiring Broadcast Journalists. This engaging book seamlessly integrates core journalistic principles—whether in the Newsroom or working in the field—with the processes required to create, present, and manage on air content."


    Ray Williams, The College of Sports Media, Toronto, ON


    "This text has all the major components for a solid background of writing, reporting, and producing news. It is highly understandable for college students and also adds enough challenges to enable students of all levels to improve their techniques. The examples used in the text will enable students to test their abilities."


    Anthony Loudis, Missouri State University, USA
