PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS EDITIONS

"This book will teach you how to tell a visual story well, using all the tools. The new edition of Bob Papper's classic shines a light for the digital age and will show you the way."

Bob Dotson, former NBC News National Correspondent and New York Times best selling author

"Papper's text has long earned accolades as a comprehensive and engaging guide to broadcast reporting, covering everything from interviewing to ethics, from writing for the ear to writing for the eye, from effective narrative techniques to the basics of proper usage and grammar. For those of us teaching Broadcast Journalism during these rapidly changing times in news, this new edition is a terrific addition to our teaching toolkit."

Judy Muller, Professor, USC Annenberg School, USA

"This edition has excellent tips for writing sound broadcast news copy and has now been updated with information from Papper's outstanding surveys of the news industry, advice from professional journalists, as well as ideas on the best practices for using new technology such as drones."

G. Stuart Smith, Professor, Hofstra University, USA

"This latest edition of Papper's well-respected style manual for broadcast news comes only two years after the previous release. Papper restructured the manual to forefront fundamentals of broadcast journalism, beginning with a chapter on ethics. Modest revisions follow....The manual is strongest when it remains focused on the details of style and usage elaborated by real-world examples....While the title suggests an audience limited to students of broadcast news, the style and usage sections of the manual have value for writers of any discipline composing podcasts or other new media work."

G. Wilsbacher, University of South Carolina
