Journalist’s Adventure

Sebuah buku yang sangat diperlukan bila terjun ke dunia radio. Jurnalisme radio seperti halnya jurnalisme cetak dan jurnalisme televisi telah berkembang pesat

Buku karya Paul Chantler and Peter Stewart terbitan tahun 2003 ini akan memberikan wawasan baru mengenai jurnalisme radio.

Di bab dua misalnya kita akan diajak untuk mengenali bagaimana bekerja di radio. Bagaimana bekerja dengan audio dan bagaimana kualitas seorang jurnalis radio.

Mengenai kualitas jurnalis radio disebutkan:

A competent radio journalist has to combine the traditional talents of the
reporter with the newer skills. Some know a little about a lot. Others, like
specialist reporters, know a lot about a little. Traditional talents mean an
ability to write clear, easily understood English, a knack of summarizing
complicated situations, asking pertinent but pithy questions and – most
important of all – a ‘nose for news’ or knowing what makes a good
news story.

Dalam beberapa bab selanjutnya buku ini menjelaskan teknik dan tips dalam liputan radio.
