Synopsis

"It's not wise to violate the rules until you know how to observe them." – T.S. Eliot

For beginning writers, Writing News for TV and Radio is an indispensable guide to writing for the ear. By learning and applying the basic rules of broadcast newswriting, Block and Durso make sure that aspiring broadcast journalists write they way they talk and pay particular attention to grammar, language, and sentence structure. Useful appendices include the "Basic Work Rules" of reading a script on air and nearly a dozen wire stories to exercise readers' rewriting skills.
