The new world of broadcast journalism is all about multimedia. If you're teaching it, studying it or practicing it, we highly recommend Advancing the Story: Broadcast Journalism in a Multimedia World, just published by CQ Press.

NBC's John Larson says it offers "sharp advice to journalists trying to get a job, learn one or just plain keep the dang thing."

"This book is ideal for beginners AND old pros," says CNN's Candy Crowley. "It’s a comprehensive how-to, chock full of strategies for journalists in the new age of 'multi-platforms.' I learned a lot."

And Media General's Dan Bradley says it's a great tool for newsroom managers. "This book should become a standard in many newsrooms around the country as seasoned, single platform journalists are challenged to break out of their comfort zones and tell their stories using more than just one form of delivery."

The authors are NewsLab's own Deborah Potter and VCU's Deb Halpern Wenger. Available now. Check out the Advancing the Story blog for updates.
