Overview

This book guides readers through the significant differences between the written and spoken versions of journalistic language. It will help broadcast journalists at every stage of their careers to avoid such pitfalls as the use of newspaper-English and Americanised phrases, to get to grips with pronunciation and terms of address, and to capture the immediacy of the spoken word in their scripts.
