Television has its own specific language. It creates fictional and non-fictional stories. For a television programme, a story starts with a script but it has to be turned into moving images and sounds in order to make sense to the audience.

There are hundreds of TV channels not only to entertain audiences but to keep them update in their spheres of interest through ‘News’, which is the world’s largest and fastest selling ‘product’ as on date.

The book provides a comprehensive picture of script writing, TV news/interviews, light used for shooting and editing of the news story and documentary. It may be useful for media, TV professionals and students of mass communication.
