Reviews for Practising Videojournalism

'The idea for the book is excellent and meets a specific need in the growing market place for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Journalism, Film and TV production, Media and Television Studies.' - Michael Kennedy, Senior Lecturer in Media, Kingston University '...video journalism is a relatively new style of journalism, but one that is rapidly growing. For that reason alone the idea of the book is timely.' - Carole Fleming, Senior Lecturer, Centre for Broadcasting and Journalism, Nottingham Trent University '...a book that does incorporate both the practical dimension and an engagement with the historical/cultural practice of journalism would be invaluable.' - Julia Knight, Principal Lecturer, Film/Video, Luton University 'Yes, this is a good idea. There are new courses being set up every year, both at undergraduate and masters level and a broader spectrum of supporting texts would be really helpful for students. Broadcast journalism is going through a period of rapid change, and texts soon become dated.' - Ann Dawson, School of Art, Media and Design, University of Gloucestershire 'Morgan writes in an accessible style...[and] provides invaluable advice on the skills required...It will be invaluable for students interested in video practice at all levels. Each chapter has a useful summary and questions for the student to think about. This is a very accessible and informative book, an absolute must for video production courses.' - Times Higher Educational Supplement
