Synopsis
Inside advice on the hardest PR to get.
Library Journal
Like the insatiable Jabba the Hut, the gaping maws of network, cable, reality, and satellite television are dependent on a steady flow of entertainment, business, and information. Two-time Emmy Award-nominated producer, entertainment consultant, and all-around media maven Jordan argues that we can all get into the television game as guests to promote ourselves and whatever commercial trinkets, ideas, and baubles we may have to hawk. Combining her extensive production experience and knowledge with a motivational and at times annoying rah-rah style, Jordan delineates the mechanics of getting booked by addressing such topics as television production, the guest decision-making process, individual and marketable identities, promotional materials, pitching, and venues. Industry terms, mantralike platitudes (e.g., "Presentation counts. Be prepared"), and insider information are isolated throughout in shadow boxes. An appendix of television and cable networks is also offered. Entrepreneurs, authors, inventors, and anyone seeking the market exposure that television provides stand to benefit from Jordan's expertise. Recommended.-Barry X.
