The Broadcast News Toolkit focuses on the writing, shooting, and production of broadcast news across multimedia platforms in a non-technical and visually engaging way.

Covering a range of different story forms in broadcast news (RDR, FS, VO, VO/SOT, PKG, and Liveshots), this book illustrates basic audio/video shooting and editing techniques through straightforward examples, including online video tutorials that can be accessed via a QR code within the book. Specific issues relating to online content, social media, and audience engagement are discussed in detail, and the authors further explore why trust in news media is declining, the impact that fake news and deep fake videos have on media credibility in newsrooms, and what can be done to increase the perceived credibility of the news. Students will also learn how to write leads and teases that will keep viewers engaged.

This is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate students of Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism who are looking for a clear and concise guide to the modern digital newsroom.

This book examines the role of media credibility and trust in news personalization and consumer engagement in the US. While much has been written about the use of algorithms in audience targeting, we define news personalization in a different way: as attempts by news personnel to build credibility and trust with consumers through a focus on relatable news. The book examines tactics such as the use of transparency cues in stories, responsiveness to audience comments, and disclosing personal information to consumers. It also addresses the challenges of news personalization, including how messaging from vested interests may also be seen by audiences as personalized news. In an age when individuals are increasingly determining their own ecology of news sources, this book offers a unique perspective on an emerging area of news customization and personalization.
