Roll! Shells fly overhead as night-scopes capture deadly fire fights with an eerie green hue, a category 5 hurricane devastates the Big Easy, hidden cameras enter a Cambodian village of brothels and a veteran journalist interviews himself throughout his own brain surgery. Part non-fiction drama, part trade publication, part text book, all woven together giving the reader a look through the viewfinders of the very best television photojournalists. As 19 experts weigh in with their candid, personal stories and photographic tips, it's as if you're over their shoulders, following their intuitions and hearing their thoughts as they shoot. The trade term for what they do is called ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and whether they're called Cameramen, Backpack Journalists, Television Photographers or any other moniker de jour, they're all paid to bring the world's events into living rooms around the world. These are the men and women who capture the bleeding edge of history - as it happens. Written in a smooth, unique interview style, this book is a necessary read for photojournalists, videographers and tv photojournalists.

For a time, print has caught up with technology. Here are all the elements of ENG (Electronic News Gathering) tech­nology and its uses, strengths, and weak­nesses in the researching, writing, edit­ing, photojournalism, and production of television news, including a chapter de­voted to the implications of ENG for communications law. The text is sup­plemented by essays written by well-established professionals, including Tom Wolzein, NBC News, Larry Hatteberg, two-time NPPA News Cameraman of the Year, Lynn Cullen, WTAE-TV, Pitts­burgh, and John Premack, WCVB-TV, Boston, who consider the ethical, es­thetic, editorial, operational, and organi­zational problems the current tech­nology has brought to television news. The authors make extensive use of the results of a nationwide survey of News Directors, News Producers, and Broad­cast Station Managers in describing the impact of ENG on the jobs broadcast journalists do, the new jobs ithas cre­ated, and the kinds of skills and knowl­edge that future broadcast journalists will need.
