Trade Review
"As both a technical director/editor and as a consultant, I’ve seen the broadcast news industry reinvent itself many times over the past thirty years. Most textbooks either misread the technical end of the business or ignore it entirely. It’s refreshing to see a text that is not only relevant in today’s news environment, but accurately explains the business from both technical and journalistic viewpoints." - Mark Helman, Broadcast Consultant
"Dr. Utterback's real world experience paired with his approach to teaching the fundamentals and essential techniques helped me hone my craft and transition from academic to the local TV market." - Grace Guerin, Production Technician, Fox CT
"Dr. Utterback's knowledge of the production process gave me a greater appreciation for all members of the team tasked with putting a quality newscast on the air and that is something that helped me in my career as a producer." -Robby Messer, Former Utterback student and Emmy-winning producer
