ABSTRACT

With around 2000 full-time journalists working in the sector, television is a small industry yet it plays such a dramatic role in our lives. Without even realizing it, we can be greatly influenced by television over everything from our views about the world to our taste in music. Those who work in television are quick to confess it is not as glamorous as people might believe but there can be little doubt that the TV journalist’s pulse is racing that much faster than their print colleague’s as their deadline looms.
