Basic Radio Journalism

Basic Radio Journalism

by Paul Chantler and Peter Stewart

Basic Radio Journalism is a working manual and practical guide to the tools and techniques necessary to succeed in radio journalism. It’s invaluable for you if you’re starting a broadcasting career as well as if you’re a more experienced journalist wanting to develop and expand your skills.

BRJ covers the core skills of news gathering, writing, interviewing, reporting and reading, with extensive hints and tips. It outlines working practices in both BBC and commercial radio. There are sections on the law and new digital equipment, as well as for the journalist as programme producer. For the student there’s extensive advice about getting a job, marketing yourself and dealing with job interviews.

‘Basic Radio Journalism’ is on the core reading list of several post graduate broadcast journalism courses and has been translated into several languages.
