Editorial Reviews

In the context of local newscasters growing and becoming more popular at the expense of network news, Allen (journalism and telecommunication, Arizona State U.-Tempe) examines the continual stress between people who present the news and those who receive it. He draws from interviews with 200 station managers, news directors, producers, and anchors. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
