Satellite Newsgathering, 2/e (Paperback)
內容描述
Description
Praise for the first edition:"It is a wonderful source of
information and has the merit of going straight to the subject, being
technically precise although very easy to understand. There are numerous
pictures, photographs, diagrams, which make the reading a real pleasure."
--European Broadcasting Union Technical Review "The complexity of
a satellite newsgathering system could be a four-month long college course
with a high tuition rate and an enrolment number so large you have to watch
your professor on a TV screen. Jonathan Higgins might have saved the
independent learner a few attendance point deductions by fitting it into one
book." --Satellite Broadband magazineAn ideal introduction for
anyone working, or interested, in satellite newsgathering (SNG). The new
edition of this popular book builds upon the success of the first--an
important and valuable work that is extermely easy to read, comprehensive in
its treatment, and detailed where necessary. SNG used to be an immensely
complex and expensive affair where broadcasting organizations were at the
mercy of an expert who sat in a lonely corner, until needed. Things have
changed--everyone in a global news organization needs to know about it now.
This is not only because of the high costs of mistakes, but because now even
non-technical journalists on the ground have to operate their own equipment.
Learn the skills, basics of equipment, cutting edge technology and critical
safety issues of satellite newsgathering. Satellite Newsgathering
(SNG) is the process that delivers "live" and "breaking" news to the viewer or
listener as it happens. An ideal introduction for anyone working, or
interested, in satellite newsgathering. * Includes everything people want
todayvideophones, HDTV, tales from the ground in the latest Gulf War,
compression technologies, and key safety
issues.
