From the Foreword by Bob Schieffer: "This is a real 'how to' book by
two people who really know how. But it is more than just a fine manual
on broadcast journalism, journalists and non-journalists alike will find
it good read, a treasure chest of anecdotes, stories and a tall tale or
two from the most exciting profession of all--reporting the news."

standing in front of the camera you will know what you're doing. Whether
new to television or experienced in front of a camera, you will improve
on your current skills through career-focused tips and tried-and-true
principles--all oriented to skills development--in this book.
