Betz Michelle. Handbook for Broadcast Journalists

Former Knight International Press Fellow Michelle Betz put together this "Handbook for Broadcast Journalists" after working with journalists and journalism students in Rwanda for four months. The handbook is Betz's attempt to fill the void of a lack of formal journalism training or reference materials. It aims to help journalists tell "real" stories and to do "real" journalism, Betz says.The 41-page handbook covers issues related to news gathering, news processing, media law, ethics and responsibility. It also provides a glossary of broadcast terms and Web sites for journalists to use.
