23 AND ON TV
HOW TO BE A MULTIMEDIA JOURNALIST (MMJ) DAY-TO-DAY
​​​
23 and on TV is a book about how to do the job of a multimedia journalist (MMJ) post-2020.
​
Most books about journalism are about how to get the job, and this one is literally about how to do it.
​
Step-by-step 23 and on TV takes you through a day in the life of a multimedia journalist (MMJ) by dedicating each chapter to a daily task.
​​
Each task will provide you with intimate details of its responsibilities to help you understand the job requirements. You will experience them through real life stories from the authors experience.
​
Remember, this book is written from the perspective of a 23- year-old. There are many things you learn in school and then many more as you attempt to apply that knowledge to the school of life.
​​
So read it, learn from it, and let it be a constant reminder that when news breaks you will make mistakes, but you just have to (f)orget (i)t because (s)tuff will (h)appen. And it will happen often when you are new in the newsroom.
Daily Task of
EVERY CHAPTER INCLUDES
*OVERVIEWS* TASK DESCRIPTIONS* HELPFUL LIST OF RESOURCES* F.I.S.H [Forget it stuff happens] TIPS* TRANSPARENT INSIGHT*
The book is organized by going through daily task all multimedia journalists must complete during their shift. These tasks are coupled with real life experiences of things going right and wrong both on and off camera.
