I've used several broadcast announcing texts, but this one is superior! It's an easy read, provides lots of practical information and exercises, and is one of those books that students could and should keep and use during their careers. I highly recommend this text for any broadcast announcing class.Tommy Booras, University of Kentucky, USAAnnouncing for Broadcasting and the Internet is a great text for all aspiring broadcast journalists and media performers.
