ReviewsChapman University's program in television and broadcast journalism has been an avid and satisfied user of Jeff Rowe's book. In clear language and with relevant examples, he explains the do's and don'ts and tricks of the trade of writing for broadcast. The text deftly reinforces to young, aspiring journalists in an increasingly technological and changing media environment that one constant remains: writing is paramount." -Pete Weitzner, Professor of Broadcast Journalism, Chapman University, Orange, CA. "Jeff Rowe's book is a complete, inexpensive resource for multimedia reporting students. Combining Rowe's book with the Associated Press stylebook gives students a complete basic reporting and writing library for half the price of other popular reporting textbooks." -Robert R. Mercer, Retired Chair, Journalism Department, Cypress College, CA.; Fulbright Scholar, Convergence Journalism "In a word, great. The book should be alongside the keyboard of every news writer in the country." -Douglas Perret Starr, Journalism Professor, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas and Former Associated Press Writer "A wonderful book." -Bruce Horovitz, Former Staff Writer, USA Today and Los Angeles Times
