News in a New Century: Reporting in An Age of Converging Media Book

I was looking for a source to have more information about reporting for television; the reason for reading this book that I was assigned as a segment producer for a light program covering the local events which is going to be broadcasted right after the news. unfortunately this assignment is no longer exist.

So you can understand why I was less passionate about this book, however I finished it reading most of its chapters. The book has nice materials for beginners, it summarize what a producer should do and how he/she should do it, it also explain the problems and complications of a producer's work.

It is important to mention that this book is really old, and the technologies used in TV has changed since then. Another disadvantage of this book that it repeats an idea over and over again which sometimes I see it useful and sometimes I see it boring.

Overall, it will not harm anybody works or interested in working with TV to read it, but defiantly he/she should read another books on the same subject too, recommendations?
