Aim for the Heart: Write, Shoot, Report and Produce for TV and Multimedia
This book is for anybody who wants to learn to write more powerful video stories.While I speak directly to broadcast journalists in this book, others from ministers to motivational speakers and public relations professionals tell me this book affects how they do their job. The principles of solid storytelling are universal, it seems.This book is filled with specific examples that I hope will improve your NEXT story.It is not a high-minded philosophy book and it is not not a pie-in-the-sky text that you could only use if you had four days and a crew of three to produce a story. It is for run and gun journalists who turn the daily story as I did for decades.To students: I am most honored when a students tells me that this is a textbook that he/she keeps after the class is over.To working professionals: I hope Aim for the Heart will inspire you, re-ignite your journalistic passion and most of all I hope it helps you to improve your craft that I think is so vital to democracy.
