HOW TO WATCH TV NEWS

This little manual undertakes to equip the user to watch broadcast news intelligently, if at all, and with realistic expectations. The authors aim to make activity out of what is too often passivity. Their approach is carefully reasoned, rather than emotional. This book is no more intended to be read aloud for dramatic effect than an automobile repair manual. On the other hand, being a model of clarity and not dependent on charts or graphics, it works perfectly well in audio. Jeff Riggenbach’s reading is ideal: very clear, comfortably paced and objective in tone. This reviewer urges this book on every adult in America. J.N. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 98]
