Having worked closely with Brad Schultz, I know he has important insights to pass along to students in the area of broadcast news production. This seems to be a fairly comprehensive effort that covers many of the aspects of news production that other texts have ignored. I think it will be a tremendous help to those who are interested in this part of the broadcast journalism industry.
