Anyone studying journalism, or training for the industry, will benefit from the broad scope of information and guidance packed into this textbook. Those already employed in journalism or related areas will also find it useful as a reference book. Essential techniques employed by journalists working across all media are supplemented with detailed sections on the workings of public administration, law, health and safety, regulation and training.
Each chapter concludes with suggested learning activities and an extensive list of resources for further study and investigation. The approach throughout chapters covering background issues (e.g. law) is 'journalism centred': all topics are related to the interests and concerns of journalists and journalism.
Students of the City and Guilds Diploma in Media Techniques will find the book particularly relevant to their studies as it has been developed to reflect the syllabus of this course.
Richard initially trained and practised as a newspaper journalist through the National Council for the Training of Journalists’ (NCTJ) scheme, on weekly and evening newspapers. He then turned to radio journalism, initially in the commercial sector, reporting on many stories of national importance for Independent Radio News, as well as presenting major news programmes. He gained broader radio, as well as initial television experience, with the British Forces’ Broadcasting Network in Germany. On returning to the UK Richard held senior editorial, production and presentation roles on major BBC and commercial stations, gaining an Open University honours degree and teaching qualification along the way – later adding an M.A. in mass communications from the University of Leicester.His first lecturing and tutoring work was with the City and Guilds Media Techniques Certificate: Journalism and Radio and this led to a full-time post as a journalism lecturer at Liverpool Community College, teaching on City and Guilds, NCTJ, NVQ and postgraduate journalism courses, as well as setting exams in media for BTEC. He then became a senior lecturer in journalism at Liverpool John Moores University, where he teaches a variety of subjects at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. He remains a close observer of, and participant in, journalism and the media, including contributions to BBC Radio 4’s media discussion programme The Message and articles for RADIO Magazine, as well as wide- ranging external examining, consultation and research.Further details at: www.richardrudin.com,
