Broadcast journalism is a field of journalism that is concerned with the broadcasting of news in the electronic media. Broadcast methods include television, radio and World Wide Web. Television is considered to be the most influential medium for news delivery. Such media publish news in the form of visual text, sounds and pictures. Broadcast journalism is also involved in content delivery for the web, which is usually accompanied by sound and graphics of the original story.

A modern development in broadcast journalism is citizen broadcast journalism, which allows non-journalists to post stories and report events through social media. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of broadcast journalism. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and practices of broadcast journalism.
