Synopsis

A study of the changing face of television news, examining both the transmitted screen product and the newsgathering process which lies behind the broadcast bulletins viewers see every day. This book presents an analysis of how television reporting has changed in the age of 24 hour news service, outlining the circumstances of the new world of television journalism. It examines the world of rolling news received globally, a world where portable satellite dishes and phones, the fax, laptop computers, digital palmcorders and video-editing in a suitcase have changed the way news stories are reported. A detailed study of how the American networks, CNN and the British news services covered a pair of breaking stories is presented, as is an overview of the development of broadcast news from radio in the 1920s to CNN in the mid-1990s.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The portable satellite dish, the digital palmcorder, the video editing suite in a suitcase. This is the age of the 24 hour news service, but just who and what makes the news? Technology has radically changed the way in which events are reported. News services such as CNN, Sky News, Euronews, CBC 'Newsworld' and BBC 'World' are available around the clock. But does the viewer know any more as a result?

A study of the changing face of television news, this book examines both the transmitted screen product and the newsgathering process. It is an analysis of how television reporting has changed in the age of rolling news and an examination of how TV news can affect the course of current affairs worldwide.

From the fall of the Berlin wall, through the Gulf War, to the O J Simpson chase and trial, TV news is now - more than ever before - enmeshed in the events it covers. Brent MacGregor, a former producer and director provides sharp insight into the business, giving a wide historical and geographical context for the tremendous diversity of today's broadcast news.
