Review Summary

This CD-ROM is an upbeat, user-friendly tool intended for journalists beginning a career in television news. This interactive reference document covers all aspects of television news production from researching a story through to filming and editing it and finally getting a story to air in a news bulletin.

It is the first CD-ROM in a three-part series titled "TV News: The Story, the Crew, the Bulletin." The content focuses on basic news gathering skills and the methodology of television journalism. This hands-on document is for novices with little or no previous knowledge of television news production. Should users become overwhelmed by television terminology there’s a helpful glossary link at the bottom of the CD-ROM’s opening menu page.
