grammes. The construction, language code and quantity of an article or programme are discussed here. After this introductory chapter the authors proceed towards the collection of data, addressing the journalist's efficient self management, like interview techniques and optimal note-taking procedures. Consequently, the third chapter focuses on the style and appropriate means of how to sort out, arrange and shape the collected data, in order to convey the intended news item. In the final chapter the presentation itself (e.g. what is a good photo, headline, etc.) is assessed. The range of practical tips which are often enriched by examples from the African context make this handbook especially recommendable for "greenhorn" journalists, but could also be used by more experienced journalists to check their own performance. Additionally, a list with basic technical terms and an overview of schools of journalism in Africa are given at the end of the book." (CAMECO Media Forum 2003/1)

in a formal class or for independent study, each chapter begins with a study guide listing learning objectives and expected outcomes and a suggested exercise. How to Write a Radio Serial Drama for Social Development: A Script Writer’s Manual was originally designed to assist script writers working in projects supported by Johns Hopkins University Population Communication Services. For this reason, many of the samples and examples it contains relate to family planning and reproductive health; however, the script writing principles discussed and demonstrated here apply just as well to other development topics.
